In reply to David.

L’Espresso condemned Italy for its inaction but it also said the AFM has questions to answer.

The number of survivors is irrelevant here. It’s the dead and the missing who matter. A proper account of ehat happened is yet to be give. Malta’s and Italy’s conspiracy of silence only makes it more urgent.

In reply to Jozef. The Delta Force were already in Malta and they were asked to leave few minutes after they landed.

If Dr Jammo really did contact the Italian authorities and these proceeded to do precisely nothing, then the Italians must also share a part of the liability in the ensuing tragedy.

On no account does this fact expunge the (laughable) Maltese government’s role in the tragedy.

Having said that, if you decide to throw yourself at the mercy of others you have to take it as it comes – you cannot automatically expect that the rescuers will take the best possible decision out of the six, apparently, options that were available at the time.

Malta experienced other highjackings prior to the EgyptAir one. The only difference is that the latter was for real.

In reply to Corinne Vella. In fact, Muscat and Mallia do not sleep at night. Mallia keeps phoning Muscat. That's what Muscat told that TV station - was it Al Jazeera?

Indeed this is the legacy of the greed for power. It was december 1986 when that disaster happened. I never knew the real details, I just read them today on your account Daphne. Seriously I fear your welfare, God protect you. Fil bidu kont nahseb li inti mara kiesha, a snob. Illum ma nistax nimmagina lili innifsi minghajr kuntatt regolari mal blogg tieghek.

In reply to just me.

It is not just sad. It is shocking, not least because no one outside government seems to think that this is anything to do with them.

I’ve had it up to here with whiners, moaners and whingers clamouring for their “rights”. When was the last time you saw or heard anyone demand anyone’s rights other than their own?

In reply to Jozef. Fewer than 14% of immigrants enter the EU through the central Mediterranean. That includes the ones who go to Italy.
