It is the issue of hard work that was done by Fortress Europe. Since this blog is founded, it has been doing great job to explore the situation of all immigrants trying to arrive Europe. It discovered from different direction and made a concrete site where the EU in general and Italy in particular can be informed. It is not only matter of journalism, but also humanitarian issue the site has been accomplishing.
Since the founding of Fortress Europe in 2006, Gabriele Del Grande wrote about the victims of illegal immigration towards Europe, much of his report includes eye witness. He visited most of the departure places in Africa from which immigrants bounce to Europe and observed what exactly is happening over there. According to many observers of what he accomplished, he is one of the great journalists of these decades as his reports are solid and concrete. He at the same time looks it from humanitarian perspective and he tried to help the victims in many ways.
On his visit to Libya in November 2008, he managed to visit Misurata detention center where around 600 Eritreans were held for about two years without trial. He interviewed the detainees and he reported in Fortress Europe. The titles given to his report are very appropriate and self explanatory. His blog is language-rich, and it is available in majority of European languages and other world languages as so as it can be wildly red.
As for Eritrean refugees in Libya, it was and is their window to connect to the outside world as it reported their hardship at very appropriate time. It gives big coverage to Eritreans in detention centers of Libya and the rest brethrens in the way to reach Israel. This blog also writes many news and articles about the new Italian push-back policy that endangers asylum seekers and refugees. Gabriele Del Grande did his best to tell the EU/Italian community about the truth on ground,that all the victims of the push-back policy was endangering their life in detention centers.
Now, UNHCR in Libya is kicked out and at the same time the push-back policy is continuing. Fortress Europe is always there and the great journalist- Del Grande is in his great position,the blog is informing the EU population about the situation and dangers of asylum/refugees in Libya.
Else, Gabriele Del Grande, the founder and the Author of Fortress Europe is one of the greatest journalists of these decades. Eritreans in Libya appreciates his restless efforts of informing all the misinformed once about the realities of immigration, rights abuse and death of refugees when trying to reach Europe. Long live fortress Europe, good job Gabriele Del Grande!!!
