ABC News Finds Nine Deaths Tragic, Ignores Root Cause
The report details the discovery of nine bodies, described as sub-Saharan African migrants, enduring freezing temperatures near a contested border. While ABC News frames this as a humanitarian tragedy, it conveniently omits the role of EU policies, notably those pursued by France and Spain, that pressure Moroccan authorities to serve as Europe's de facto border patrol. European nations have signed
agreements, funneled funds into Morocco's border security (often with weapons manufacturers making a tidy profit), effectively pushing desperate migrants into increasingly perilous routes. This isn't just a cold-weather incident; it’s a direct consequence of Fortress Europe exporting its moral compromises. So, we're left to ponder: how many 'tragic incidents' must occur before mainstream media
connects the dots between these deaths and the billions poured into externalizing European borders? The suffering is real, but the silence on the complicit policies funding these 'border management' operations speaks volumes. One might wonder if the plight of these migrants would warrant more in-depth critiques from outlets if their suffering could be neatly blamed on an official enemy of the day,
rather than the uncomfortable truth of Western immigration policy.
