16 immigrants disembarked from the ship "Libra" as if they were war

In 4 groups of 4 they walk one after the other with their eyes lowered. They must have been barefoot, all wearing almost the same pattern of flip flops, and almost the same T-shirt.

There is no life or expression on their faces. The flashes of telecameras, photos and excited reports on the latest news have been "cursed".

There are 16 pilgrims who have put their lives and families into debt to pay for the journey of death in the Mediterranean and to arrive in a European land.

In the personal files it is read that they stayed over 1 year and 1 year and a half as slaves and under treatment of violence and abuse at the hands of Libyan organized crime for human trafficking.

A trip costs up to 6,000-10,000 dollars, after days and days of waiting in the Libyan prisons for traffickers.

Documents of any personal belongings were seized by the boatmen. They only have their body and memory as proof of identification.

They would have been in Lampedusa for 2 days if the agreement with Albania did not exist. They would stay in the asylum seeker camp where social workers, activists and lawyers would handle their stories and rights.

But no. They had to travel another 1000 miles, hours and hours more at sea to arrive in Albania with a predetermined fate; RETURN.

All 16 will return to their country and it is not for nothing that they have been chosen to be from Egypt and Bangladesh.

There are two countries on the list provided by the legal basis of the Meloni-Rama agreement.

They were chosen as an example for political propaganda, they were chosen as a war commodity in the middle of the sea at the extreme limit of international waters.

Their faces are tired and they walk like robots from one room to another to perform the next checks.

Images from the world media create anxiety, fear, shame for what you are seeing and witnessing.

"They are only human", "They are only human like us", I remembered the call of the mayor of Brindiz on the megaphone in 1997 when the ships with Albanian immigrants arrived on the shores of his city.

This is not happening in Albania.

The pot-bellied owner of the newly opened restaurant near the port is rubbing his hands and checking the kitchen, happy that those journalists and many operators by the port will fill his halls. Earning money has also blown his brain.

Local residents, after the first confusion caused by the news of this agreement, are now eagerly waiting for the implementation to begin.

Most have presented the request to be employed in the camps. Good pay like in Italy.

"Ishallaìh they will take me", they say, their hope justifiable in a territory of unemployment and ridiculous wages. It is a chance of hope for them. They also hope that the owners of the neighborhood stores will have a better balance this month. It's been a while since they sell by the book of lists for residents who don't have money to pay for the day's food.

The pot-bellied owner of the surreal restaurant frowns at the cameras that are interviewing him. Fish and meat, it offers it all.

The Gjadri camp is a human shame.

CPR - Detention Center for Repatriation and a prison inside it. A lager, a gulag in the middle of Europe in the territory of a country that has a history of coexistence and in the jurisdiction of a state that should have democracy and freedom as its flag.

Wires high up to the sky surround the Gjadri camp, poles where megaphones and phones are positioned as in a communist army camp, television cameras and the tin box house.

One above the other. a window, a bed and a square meter of life.

At the most extreme border, where the camp meets the rock, lies the prison of 20 locals. 45 prison officers are contracted to work in them.

The comment of an Albanian colleague comes through the earphones; "No matter what you say, the camp is safe, no one can leave here. There are wires, telecameras, so as Rama said, no one will come out, you have talked in vain until today."

The millennial history of humanity was muddied by ignorance.

The 12 months of the history of Ramist melonism and melonist ramism, were assembled within 12 hours by the independent justice that holds a stone in its scales the man, his rights and not the political propaganda, the electoral interest, the arrivist ego, nor the violation of universal freedoms , violation of laws, national treason, governmental arrogance and human irresponsibility.

The 12 months of Meloniste-Ramise and Ramiste-Meloniste history, launched on November 6, 2023 in Rome in a media conference that informed a dark Pact, hidden and reached a few weeks ago in the frame of a red sunset over the sea, in a August summer evening by the Albanian coast, it was dismantled by legality.

On that summer night, the two prime ministers clinked glasses and signed the ugliest pages in the history of the Italian-Albanian coast.

And 12 months after the most anomalous political alliance between a left-wing leader and a right-wing leader, the first and last 12 immigrants of their selfish delirium are traveling towards hope, the European land of European democracy from where they expect to restart their lives./ CNA
