The speaker has been to Malta 3 times since August, on 2 seized search and rescue boats, and helped form HFO in a refugee camp in Malta. "Most of these people are fleeing from Libya, which is a country that has been sent into chaos after we bombed them; now is being run completely by gangs, mafia, cartel etc. those of which make their profits on the rape, torture and extortion of African people, and people from other countries who were unlucky enough to end up there.

"The EU is funding the Libyan coastguard (cartels with warships) and has grounded all of the search and rescue boats that would try to help the people in sinking boats fleeing the war zone. They would rather see the people die in the water than let them flee to safety in Europe. 2500 people died in the water last year 30% which are children. 2/3 of the migrant deaths in the world right now."
