The alarming hostage situation erupted in at a refugee centre in the southern Italian town of Potenza. Italy has first hand experience of the migrant crisis with many African migrants flooding the country after their treacherous journeys across the Mediterranean.
The Italian newspaper Il Giornale expressed their anger at the attack, saying: “Many immigrants in these centres claim ‘we need more money, food that respects our origins and more humane living conditions.
“They demand ‘respect’ and ‘humanity but then they threaten to slaughter those who try to help them.
“And nobody talks about working. And then people dare to call this integration.”
The black men, one from Nigeria and two from Gambia, sparked a riot when they turned against the voluntary helpers at a shelter facility which is run by a co-operative.
According to local reports the men were given food, clothes and their daily allowance of some 4 euros but became angry and started shouting: “If you don’t give us more money and better food, we will kill you”.
The migrants then kidnapped the two aid workers, threatened to cut their throats of their hostages.
Police were summoned and the three men were detained and spent three days in jail. The migrants were then released however without further action taken against them.
Cash-strapped Italy is struggling deal with the huge influx of people making their way to Europe and have to deal with tens of thousands of migrants daily, while continuing to rescue more at sea every day.
Italy receives the second highest number of applications for asylum of any country within the European Union, with only Germany receiving more.
The figures were revealed by Giorgio Alleva, the president of ISTAT (The National Institute for Statistics) which supplies official figures and data for the government, during a hearing of the Parliamentary Commission.
According to Alleva, the number of foreigners living in the country increased by five times since 1998, which is the largest growth of any country in Europe. The cost to the Italian nation was put at 2.093 billion euros, according to the President of the Commission Federico Gelli.
