Sinai: the continuing drama of the hostages Eritreans.
Habeshia The Agency, a telephone connection with the hostages, appealed to Europe.


"We wonder dove sono finiti i difensori della vita umana? Dove sono i paladini dei diritti umani? Dove l’Europa culla della “Civiltà”? Con queste parole don Mussie Zerai, sacerdote missionario e responsabile dell’agenzia Habeshia per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo in contatto telefonico con i rifugiati eritrei nel Sinai che dal novembre scorso sono ostaggi dei predoni che chiedono per la loro vita 8.000 dollari di riscatto, lancia una richiesta di aiuto alla comunità internazionale in particolare all’Europa. Le condizioni degli ostaggi sono drammatiche. “Ore 10.36, arriva una telefonata dai ostaggi eritrei nel Sinai, raccontano le quattro donne che stamattina hanno dovuto subire per l’ennesima volta sexually assaulted by a pack of raiders repeatedly because they do not pay the ransom demanded by the smugglers, "lets you know Don Mussie. The group of hostages, originally formed by some 250 Eritrean refugees, of which about eighty parties Libya had paid about $ 2,000 each to reach Israel, a figure that traffickers, after arriving in Egypt, decided to increase to 8 thousand to continue toward the goal, many of them were killed, others released after payment of ransom, and about half are still at the mercy of marauders. A nothing is worth the EU resolution adopted on 16 December in Strasbourg in which "urge the Egyptian authorities to take all measures necessary to ensure the release of the Eritreans held hostage. " In Sinai, the situation is getting worse. "One of the pregnant women is very ill, after she was beaten by traffickers ... All this happened this morning, all this is happening while the "civilized" world is watching it, distracted by other issues, some for indifference to this tragedy, for those who do not irritate the governments of the region, the fact is that there is a significant silence, no one is doing anything to eradicate this scourge of our times, you do not see any results, "continues Don Mussie claiming the need for a concrete shelter for the stranded refugees Egypt and Libya not only subjected to inhuman conditions by the traffickers, but also by the police in the prisons of Egypt and Libya.
