"What we heard was that the smugglers were not actually going on the boats themselves. What they were doing was gathering groups of refugees and migrants that wanted to travel and then they were obliging them to skipper the boats themselves. So, we saw in a number of situations these boats getting terribly lost, running out of water. In some cases, even the passengers turning on each other and in addition in unseaworthy vessels."
“我们听说走私者实际上并不是打算走私船本身，他们做的主要是将那些想要去旅行的难民和移居者聚集到一起，并且这些人非常感谢走私者让他们自己充当船的船长。所以，我们看到在很多情况下船是完全丢失以及缺水的。甚至有时，乘客彼此分开或是出于不适合航海的船舶中。”
The UNHCR estimated more than 58,000 refugees and migrants from Africa arrived in Europe in 2011.

**** Hidden Message ***** The smugglers on the Mediteranean differ in their methods than those on the Gulf of Vaden. In the Gulf, they often rob, kill and throw Ethiopean and Somali refugees overboard in route to Yemen, while explain what's been happening on the Mediteranean. :)
