The tragic loss of 50 lives in December 2010, many of them women and children, when a boat carrying asylum-seekers broke up on rocks on Christmas Island, was attributed in part to the lack of a competent crew. It must also be acknowledged that refugees and migrants at times endanger their own lives and those of others by sabotaging their own boats in desperate attempts to prevent their return to the country of origin. Thus there was an explosion on a vessel that was under the control of the Australian navy near Ashmore Reef which caused the death of five asylum-seekers and injured other passengers and military personnel in 2009. 62 REFUGIUM humanitarian /hjʊˌmanɪˈtɛːrɪən/ -concerned with or seeking to promote human welfare. internally displaced person (idp) -someone who is forced to flee his or her home but who remains within his or her country’s borders. They are often referred to as refugees, although they do not fall within the current legal definition of a refugee. immigrant /ˈɪm.ɪ.ɡrən/ -a person who has settled permanently in another country. Immigrants choose to move, whereas refugees are forced to flee. migrant /ˈmʌɪɡr(ə)nt/ -a person who moves from one place to another in order to find work or better living conditions. In addition to the troubles at sea, crossing the desert is also rife with dangers. The routes leading from the Horn of Africa and West Africa to Libya (and other North African destinations) necessarily pass through the desert, either the Sahara or the Algerian desert, depending on which routes refugees follow. This leaves refugees vulnerable. When deaths do occur, they are usually due to the perilous nature of desert crossing, and also to migrants’ contact with unscrupulous smugglers, traffickers, certain state officials and, in some cases, violent non - state actors. The same analogy is applied to the journey over Chihuahua and Sonora desert. The fauna there is as tough as the flora — desert centipedes, bark scorpions, collared lizards and diamondback rattlesnakes: creatures with rugged skin and the ability to cope with extreme temperatures. The desert climate, particularly the cold nights, reportedly lead to sickness among refugees. For some, the lack of medical treatment and their general level of exhaustion may lead to deteriorating health and, eventually, death. The human body shuts down slowly, over the course of a few days or, in some cases, hours. In his award-winning book “The Devil’s Highway,” which follows the case of the Yuma 14, Luis Alberto Urrea describes the steps in gripping detail. “Your temperature redlines — you hit 41, 42, 43 degrees. Your body panics and dilates all blood capillaries near the surface, hoping to flood your skin with blood to cool it off. You blush. Your eyes turn red: Blood vessels burst, and later, the tissue of the whites literally cooks until it goes pink, then a well-done crimson.” If refugees and migrants become sick, it is not unusual for smugglers to dump them in the desert in order to prevent the sickness from spreading to the rest. Refugees die in deserts from a combination of mistreatment, indifference, misadventure and lack of preparedness. They may also suffer violence in the desert through banditry, at the hands of State officials and smugglers, or vehicle accidents due to overcrowding, bad roads and dangerous driving. However, as most, but not all, migrants move through deserts under the aegis of smugglers or independent transporters, their deaths cannot be merely seen as accidents.
