African migrants arrived in Sicily.

According to agencies, 430 migrants docked safely on Thursday as “charities have accused Italy’s government of intentionally being slow to assign ports to their rescue vessels in a bid to dissuade people from attempting the dangerous crossing from North Africa.

SOS Mediterranee, which has rescued nearly 1,000 migrants since the beginning of the year, called Wednesday for the urgent adoption of a European solidarity mechanism to avoid such delays.”
