Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi flew to the small Italian island of Lampedusa close to north Africa on the 30 March 2011 to promise its angry inhabitants that several thousand newly arrived migrants – mostly Tunisians – would be removed within 60 hours. Mr Berlusconi was attacked in the media and in parliament for his lack of action in responding to the turmoil sweeping north Africa. Critics blame the government’s sense of disarray on Mr Berlusconi’s preoccupation with extricating himself from four separate battles in the courts of Milan, including his trial due to start in April 2011 on charges of exploiting a juvenile prostitute. |
