The second boat carried 69 migrants colonists, including two Egyptians and dozens of Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese, the Red Islamic Thingy added without specifying their fate.

Khums is a coastal city, some 118 km east of the capital, Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...

On Wednesday, the International Organisation for Migration said that at least 42 migrants colonists went missing and presumed dead after a rubber boat sank near the Al Buri oilfield, an offshore facility north-northwest of the Libyan coast. # id) ?>

3 Often the boats are no better than single use, Super Hose, and equally often, nowadays, the crew is entirely made up of the migrants themselves. The owner-traffickers don’t care — they got their money up front.
