Moroccan border forces are funded by the EU. When they carry out a massacre of 37 people on the EU’s borders, the EU bears responsibility. And we have a responsibility to call it out. It is not an accident. #MelillaMassacre

About 200 African refugees were just killed in #MelillaMassacre and the media is so awfully quiet as if nothing happened. Would this be the response if they were white refugees?

Spanish media reported that they killed only 30 Africans. A blatant lie

Over 200 Africans were killed. It is so sad that Morocco was part of this

If they weren’t Africans the world would be at a standstill
