As for the arrival of an unstoppable stream of fugitives from the shores of Africa onto European shores and those of Lampedusa in particular, it is difficult, even in this case, to distinguish those who are fleeing from violence and fear of death, those who have, for example, escaped from prison, and those who are looking for a future that holds better things than the hunger in their country.
Quant au flux ininterrompu de fugitifs qui passent des rivages africains aux côtes européennes, notamment ceux qui accostent à Lampedusa, il est difficile, même dans ce cas, de distinguer ceux qui fuient la violence et craignent pour leur vie, ceux qui, par exemple, se sont échappés de prison, et ceux qui recherchent un avenir plus prometteur que la famine qui règne dans leur pays.
