[AlAhram] The Spanish government on Sunday offered Algeciras as a port to disembark the more than a hundred migrants colonists on a charity rescue ship stranded off the coast of Italia after the boat had spent more than two weeks waiting for a port to dock.
The migrants colonists, most of whom are African, were picked up by the Open Arms boat off the coast of Libya and have been waiting to disembark on the southern Italian island of Lampedusa.
Italia's far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has ordered his officials not to let the migrants colonists disembark, though he made a partial concession on Saturday by allowing 27 minors to leave the boat. |
