13.09.2012. More than 80 people are missing. This is the story told by the survivors  of the last shipwreck which happened close to Lampedusa coasts the night of September 6. And while Italy was staging the rescue machine, as it’s been the case for many years now, something new was taking place in Tunisia. At first it took place on the web, then in other Tunisan cities – a demonstration in Tunis in front of the foreign affairs ministry, another demonstration in Sfax, a general strike in El Fahs, in the governorship of Zagouha, the place where  some of the missing migrants were from – and also through the anger of parents and relatives.
