About 700 African migrants were feared dead on Sunday when their boat capsized off Libya coast overnight, the Times of Malta reported. The Italian Coastguard launched a major rescue operation after the boat oerturned at midight local time, South of the Italian island of Lampedusa. The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) said only 28 people had survived the wreck. Their testimony suggested there had been about 700 people on board. 24 bodies have been recovered from the sea. Among the corpses was the body of a boy aged between 10 and 15. At least 400 African migrants drown last week of Libya coast after their overcrowded boat overturned. Few days ago 12 christian from Nigeria and Ghana were reported to have threw into the sea by muslim migrants from Mali, Ivory Coat, Senegal and Guinea after the 12 christian migrants claimed christian faith. African migrants beleived Europe is better than their home country, economically, politically and Industrial wise which prompt them to migrate massively for greener pasture.
