[March 31, 2009] Hundreds of migrants from Africa are missing and believed to have drowned in the Mediterranean over the weekend.
More than 30,000 migrants are believed to have crossed the Mediterranean in 2008, a 75 percent increase on 2007. The majority end up in detention centers, and are eventually deported. In Libya, there are between 1 million and 1.5 million African irregular migrants, drawn by the need for unskilled labor and hoping to move on to Europe. Story here
