‘I wonder how many Maltese are ready to live like this: I wouldn’t and …’

Well, what can I say; many Maltese lived under an abhorrent quasi dictator called Dom Mintoff, didn’t they? Many Maltese have the ‘gift’ of ‘if you can’t beat them join them’ and they expect that everyone else should do the same.

The comment that captures the reality of what Mr Iriele and others migrating to Europe probably feel:

“When your house is on fire do you stay in it? You run out. Don’t crucify black migrants. If your life was good back home, why would you run away from it?”

How very true. A Syrian colleague of mine weeps the state in which her home country has been devastated. She does not know where some of her relatives are. Her childhood home is destroyed. She cannot go back.

Other friends accumulated over the years including Lebanese, Farsi, and Ghanians have all expressed similar emotion about wanting their country to be peaceful. Many Serbs who come to Malta in the 1990s returned when things back home to a turn to the better.

I wonder how many Maltese are ready to live like this. I wouldn’t and have nothing but admiration for these migrants.

One may take issue with several opinions expressed on this blog. However, it is a safe haven for many people who have their heart and mind in the right place (blog owner included).

The service you provide through your posts and opinions, Daphne, helps many maintain sanity on a variety of fronts and especially on the humanitarian dimensions.
