Tunisia rescues 166 migrants at sea, 16 dead
[AlAhram] The migrants colonists, who included 65 Moroccans, 62 Bangladeshis and 15 Egyptians, and who were aged between 15 and 48, set off from Libyan coast overnight Friday to Saturday, Tunisian defence ministry front man Mohammed Zekri said

Tunisia rescued Thursday 166 migrants colonists stranded at sea for nearly a week, recovering the bodies of 16 others who died attempting the dangerous Mediterranean crossing to Europe, security officials said.

Their boat broke down off neighbouring Tunisia near the southern port Zarzis.

National Guard front man Houcem Eddine Jebabli confirmed 16 of the group had died on board, and said investigations were underway to determine the cause of death.

The route between Libya and Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
is considered the most dangerous one across the Mediterranean.

Over 890 people are known to have died attempting to cross the Mediterranean so far this year, a rise of 130 percent on the same period of last year, the International Organization for Migration said last week.

Since the start of summer, the number of crossings have increased as migrants colonists take advantage of the good weather and calmer seas.

Despite being plunged into chaos after the fall of Moamer Qadaffy's regime in 2011, Libya has become a favoured springboard for migrants colonists seeking what they believe will be a better life in Europe.
