Humanitarian Solutions to Political Problems?

Out here on Aquarius, we are merely slapping bandages on wounds that have been bleeding for many years but are now beginning to hemorrhage. We need to stop treating the symptoms and look at the cause. Let’s stop trying to prevent people from coming to Europe by building legal and physical fences and walls. Let’s end the practice of giving vast sums of money to ‘border forces’ in countries with terrible human rights records. Simply stemming the flow of people in lands where they are out of the sight of European eyes does not stop the problem – it just hides it. NGOs cannot continue to pluck people out of the seas indefinitely.80
