The number of the South Sudanese refugees in Uganda reaches one million in whats become one of the worlds largest humanitarian issues.

Over the past year, about 1800 South Sudanese citizens arrived in Uganda every day.

They are fleeing the civil war and violence ravaging their home country.

The U.N. said the number of the South Sudanese refugees has grown exponentially since fighting erupted, and Ugandan authorities are struggling to support the growing amounts of refugees.

The World Food Program recently had to cut food rations amid funding shortages.

The government says it needs at least $2 billion to deal with the influx of refugees, but has only been able to raise a fraction of the money.

Controversial author Douglas Murrayhas blasted "hypocrites" such as Lily Allen and Nicola Sturgeon in an extraordinary interview with Julia Hartley-Brewer.

With new figures from the United Nations suggesting the migrant crisis has reached a new pitch, Murray, author of The Strange Death of Europe,also says we need to get a grip on the situation and stop letting migrants into our continent until we know who they are.

The latest figures suggest the number of people entering Europe is continuing to rise, with more than9,000 people having arrived in Spain from north Africa this year.

Murray said that, while most ordinary people in Britain and elsewhere in Europe are sick of the situation, high-profile people in politics and the media are exploiting the situation for their own personal profile.

"This has provided a magnificent opportunity forpseuds and hypocrites and grandstanders to have their moment," he told Julia.

"The SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said she would even take in some migrants. That was two years ago and she doesn't seem to have her family of migrants.

"Labour MPs - Yvette Cooper said she'd take in a family of migrants. Endless people... none of them have got them. Lily Allen has still not got her group of young men from sub-Saharan Africa living in their spare room.

"These people are grandstanding on a massive scale about a continent-wade catastrophe and they should feel enormous shame if they could.

"We have to look at the wholeproblem in its totality. The point is 'can we take in all of the world who wants to come to our continent. If you ask a grandstander like Lily Allen or Nicola Sturgeon or Yvette Cooper, they will not, when put on the spot, say 'keep anyone out.' They can't.

"In reality, if we followed the advice of these people, we'd destroy our entire society. [Unlike the majority of people]the people who have a voice in the media and our politicians who are insane."

Murray also said most of the current influx of migrants are actually sub-Sarahan African men, rather than refugees from war-torn areas like Syria, and "they haven't been rescued. they've been picked up by our own continent's vessels, by organised vessels paid for by taxpayers across our continent, and by NGO vessels.

"They are complicit with the traffickers, they are paying the traffickers, they are involved in an illegal business. they are paying to illegally enter our continent, to break outr own rules.

"We do actually have rules on how you claim asylum and it doesn't involve paying a criminal gang to enter Europe."

"we are lifting people from Africa and bringing them into Europe with no idea of who they are or whether they have any legitimate claim to be in Europe."

Murray also cited an extract fromhis book, documenting the policy of Australia to turn around migrant boats or turn them towards other countries, as an example to follow.

"We do not work out who is in our continent once they are in," he said. "We work out who people are, what their claims are, and keep them outside Europe in the process. Keep them in North Africa.

"This is a catastrophe down the road. If we dont maintain our laws, everyone will break them for us."

The nation is crumbling under the strain of the migrant crisis, and was having to handle it alone as EU member states were too busy bickering to come up with a burden sharing programme, proposed by the European Commission last year.

He told German newspaper Bild: Italy is contributing, but we cannot cope with this burden alone.

Asked if Italy had been abandoned by other European nations, Mr Alfano said: A very clear yes.

The European Commissions proposal would see member states contributing to a refugee resettlement plan and asylum fund.

But governments should be looking to Libya as the only solution to decrease the number of migrants reaching Italy, he said.

The Italian MP did not slam Angela Merkels open door refugee policy, even though it lead to a sharp increase in asylum seekers heading to Europe, saying she "was on the right side of the story in 2015".

Italy is contributing, but we cannot cope with this burden alone

Angelino Alfano

He said the German Chancellor showed leadership, with strength and courage, and noted now most migrants are coming from African countries rather than the Middle East.

Alfano dismissed Austrias threats of sending troops to the border with Italy to stop migrants crossing the border.

He said: This is pure election campaigning, which we do not take seriously.

Our borders are clearly sealed. It is impossible for the migrants to travel to other countries.

In recent days, Libya banned foreign ships from a stretch of water off its coast, prompting many NGOs to halt their search and rescue missions.

The move was welcomed by the Italian government.

Libya alleged some charities were facilitating illegal migration and working with traffickers to pick up migrants.

One charity, Sea Eye, branded the ban an explicit threat against the private NGOs and the ban would put many lives at risk.

The warning comes after 69 Iraqi migrants in a yacht were detained on Sunday after being spotted by a coastguard patrol ship in Romanian territorial waters, about 10 nautical miles from the port of Mangalia.

Bulgarian news agency Novinite reports that the yacht was sailing under the Turkish flag piloted by Bulgarian and Cypriot traffickers.

Romanian authorities note that 2,500 people have been caught trying to cross the countrys borders illegally in the first six months of this year a five-fold increase on last year. Frontex figures show that only one person attempted to illegally enter the European Union via the Black Sea in the whole of 2016.

The growth of the route is a result of the restrictions on other routes in the Mediterranean.

The Eastern Mediterranean route (between Turkey and Greece across the Aegean Sea) was restricted last year following the EU-Turkey migrant deal. The Balkan route, which then took migrants out of EU nation Greece through Macedonia and Serbia (both non-EU countries) before re-entering the EUs free movement Schengen zone in Hungary, was closed after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbn erected a border wall with Serbiaand increased other security measures.

The Central Mediterranean migrant route has also recently been restricted following moves by the Libyan navy to patrol its coast and the Italian governments implementation of a migrant rescue NGO code of conduct. The moves saw at least three NGOs pull search and rescue operations from the waters off the coast of North Africa over the weekend.

Captain Georgi Penev, chief of staff of the Bulgarian navy, told The Times: Migration [into Bulgaria] is mostly coming through the land border [from Turkey] at the moment.

But we could see an increase on the sea route because of the crackdown in the Aegean, Capt. Penev added.

In addition to sea and land incursions into Bulgaria and Romania, which both border the Black Sea, Spain, on the Eastern Mediterranean route from Morocco, is becoming the fastest growing route for illegal migration as migrants consider it safer than the central route from Libya.

Italy simply cannot do what an independent country should be able to always do: defend its territory from illegal invasion.

Posted on 8/14/17 | 11:04 AM CEST

Italy is very corrupted country and human smuggling is even more important to mafia than smuggling drugs. Now Italy wants to collect money from human smuggling and then send the economic immigrants to other countries. It would be foolish for other countries to accept this corruption and abusing of them.

@European/Finnish guy

Taken together what you are saying is that however you look at it Italy is indeed shafted!

Posted on 8/14/17 | 11:36 AM CEST

Ive noticed a pattern in Southern European member states and that is no matter how many millions we provide them they still think they lack solidarity. It is quite outrageous they should show more grattitude , Europe is not some dumpster that you can throw your garbage into. The same reason the inflow of migrants is unsustainable for Italy is why it is unsustainable for Europe. So the solution cannot be to just spread out the malaise but to reform Europs asylum policies to one that is based on a regional and first safe country concept. Where money spent on refugees actually reaches the victims of war and persecution and not opportunistic men looking for a better life. Italy should do like Greece and keep migrants offshore so they cannot reach the rest of Europe illegally. Then process and settle them in third countries in their region of origin.

So youre not paying politico 300$ a month for an account here?

@roland Could you please tell us how many millions did you provide to italy? Could you eventually answer? I know about some 60 bns paid by the italian taxpayers to rescue greece and other countries and largely gone to help french and german banks exposed with loans there. Then I know of more money paid by european taxpayers, among which italians, to fund a deal that merkel did with erdogan to stop flows of refugees that didnt involve italy, nothing similar happened for flows from lybia. Could you please point us once and for all which are the generous funds for which we should be grateful?

@Filippo

Probably worth remembering that it was BNP-Paribas which triggered the crash 10 years ago when it suspended payments on a couple of its funds because the assets were worth less than their liabilities

I suspect the problem was expecting EU to be able to organise a response in the first place. Believing a trading body, with 27 members, all having a different take on this, could come up with a workable solution was never going to work.

Brussels should have said, from the outset, it was not capable of dealing with a huge migrant crisis and stayed out of the disaster.

Countries could then have focused on UN and other agencies to create a workable response.

Problem is EU likes to be the middle man, seen to be vital on the world stage, and will not miss an opportunity to interfere even when it can only make a big mess worse.

It should stick to what it is there for, to enforce trade rules and regulations occasionally, so business do not run amok and try and poison us all with dodgy food and polluting cars.

Posted on 8/14/17 | 2:35 PM CEST

Why does not stop Italy to treat illegal economic migrants as refugees? Asking help from EU for incompetence?

Posted on 8/14/17 | 2:46 PM CEST

Dear Angelino, it works like this: when individuals or even governments act against the will and interests of their people, assisting them would not be called solidarity; it would be complicity. You and your Renziites have taken away Italy from those born there for millennia and given it to illiterate chancers exploiting your weakness and ideological narcissism. Dont even dream about us suffering for your mistakes, or because of the apathy of the Italian electorate in general.

Hey Italy, arent you aware that Germany is in election campaign ? Wait until the fall, then the German left wing media apparatus will push for everybody welcome 2

burden-sharing mechanism Thats getting ridiculous. Can these politicians explain how this would work ? How will you keep the migrants redistributed to Romania in Romania ? By borders and walls ? Upps in this case youd go against youre own narrative.

Where are migrants taken by Estonia and Czech ? all of them in Germany and Seden, none stayed over there.

Posted on 8/14/17 | 5:34 PM CEST

Talk to Libya yourselves Italy. They need to stand on their own two feet and resolve the problem as they see fit for their country!

Italy is the third biggest country in EU after UK leaves. This position is the position of France when UK was in EU. (germany 1. UK 2. France 3rd.)

Start acting like it!

Posted on 8/14/17 | 6:10 PM CEST

let me explain Italys migration story very clear

1. Italy is ruled by a SOCIALIST government since 2013. since then the italian government supported NGOs & helped them brind in EU as many so called refugees as possible.

2. when Italys SOCIALIST overnment saw that their plan of having a EU wide asylum policy has failed and that the italian people are turning against them they decided to stop all this.

they could have done it since 2014 but they did not want to

Posted on 8/14/17 | 8:11 PM CEST

To Italians, socialist leaders: Guys, you just happen to be on the wrong side of Europe: you are not Poland or Scandinavia. Your are within reach. You are in the first line. Find solutions. Geography is nobodys fault. For decades you have ignored the rule of law and deployed corruption at all levels. Surely migrants can be used by your mafias.

Posted on 8/14/17 | 9:38 PM CEST

Vishnou:

Poland is also on the first line. You probably dont know, but Poland has got borders not only with EU members, but also with Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.

Posted on 8/14/17 | 10:32 PM CEST

To assume that Europe is responsible for how the African countries treat their own citizens is ridiculous. How about how the North Korean government treats its citizens? How about how Saudia Arabia denies women their rights? How about how China instituted a one child policy? I could go on and on.

Posted on 8/14/17 | 10:41 PM CEST

Filippo:

Could you remind me who was bombing Libya and is responsible for current state of Libya, for fallen Libya and for current flow of migrants from Africa? Italy is one of the main black characters of that state. You were one of world players that destroyed Libya, Libya that was stopping flow of migrants from central Africa to Europe. Till now, for many years your government was doing NOTHING to stop that flow. EU countries are not responsible for your idiocy. You are responsible for that.
