Europe's detention camps of shame:
**
We asked if we could look round the closed detention centres and were told
that was not possible. When we approached the perimeter fence of one of
them, we were angrily waved away. The conditions looked rudimentary, with a
shortage of shelter and washing facilities.
They are grateful for the help the Maltese have given them, but they say the
conditions in the detention centres are very harsh.
They have to claim asylum in Malta to avoid being sent home, and then they
are stuck. Under EU rules, they have to stay in the country in which they
first arrived.
"It's like a trap," said Warsame Ali Garare, a well-educated Somali in his
20s. "You can't continue, you can't go back, and the Maltese don't want you
here. The dream is to leave Malta. Everybody wants to leave."
It is a kind of perverse reversal of the American immigrants' dream.
