More violence erupts in the powder keg that has become the Monastir reception center. Last night , a massive brawl involving about forty people , divided into two factions: Algerians and Afghans, erupted, and today an even more alarming incident occurred.
A stabbing even took place inside the hotspot, it seems that a guest of the center hit three others .
And protests are growing over an unsustainable situation inside the hotspot, which hosts around 600 migrants: "The centre has now become a no-man's land of fights, fires and bloodshed, and for the municipalities in the area it is a state of constant war ", denounces the police union ANIP through its secretary Flavio Tuzi .
The officers, it insists, work in a "constant state of tension, exposed to unacceptable dangers with completely insufficient human and material resources." The union is calling for a reinforcement of the Mobile Unit, available for immediate intervention, particularly during the evening and night hours.
Tuzi "invites" the Chief of Police to the center : "Come and see with your own eyes the operational conditions in which law enforcement operates during your visit to the Cagliari Police Headquarters on November 17th and 18th. Your presence is necessary to make people feel that the State is there and that it is reclaiming the territory with a strong, concrete and unequivocal signal of determination and legality."
The officers are calling for increased staffing and clear rules of engagement to allow for timely interventions: "We and the entire community cannot passively endure this situation."
