kpfa: Migration Struggles in the Mediterranean

“People headed for Europe are dying by the thousands in the Mediterranean Sea. It’s not just a humanitarian crisis, says Maurice Stierl; he argues that the migrants are engaged in a political struggle against European policies of deterrence and border militarization. Stierl also works on a hotline that responds to distress calls from migrant vessels.”
