Sympathy for the Devil

"Wyatt... you idiot," Vallas says as he sets down a ceramic bowl of cooked greens in his friend’s makeshift wooden cell and dings it with the included spoon to wake him.

The mess dwelling within looks over at him through the bars and practically snarls, "What the fuck do you want, traitor?"

"You betrayed our values," Vallas says with a shake of his head, "Treating this people like you've conquered them. We didn't defect just to repeat the sins of our betters. We agreed what they were doing was unconscionable. You earned this."

The prisoner pulls the plate closer and finally into his lap. He takes a bite and adopts a more sympathetic tone, "They fuckin' shot me, Vallas. And I heard about what they were doin' to you before you escaped, everyone were whisperin' of it when I got here. The fuckin’ slavin’ Verdare... I didn't do shit compared to the crap these cunts're guilty of."

"They aren't one people, Wyatt. The women of this village weren't responsible for what happened to any of us. They only wanted to help you, and you threw it in their face and you hurt them."

"Yeah..." Wyatt says faintly with a glimmer of regret. He makes no move to contest his former commander’s account as he replies, "I see that now."

"Maybe there's hope for you yet then." WIth a heavy sigh the Garlean half-turns away from his friend and frowns into the darkness. “We will fight for the freedom of all men taken by our former masters. After that, I’ve agreed to take all of our men and leave the Golmore with those they exile, and take them far away from here.” “They’re gonna let ‘em fuckin’ live... And yer in on this shit?!” Wyatt snaps nastily as he sets his plate down with a clang. “Why not execute ‘em! They don’t deserve forgiveness! Kill ‘em all, let the fuckin’ jung--” “Enough.” Vallas says as he rattles the bars of the cage with a loud sweep of his sword. “I intend to forgive you, as I will them. As the sun rises again every morning, so we must show mercy to all of its children.”

Wyatt goes quiet as he picks up his plate again and starts to chew mournfully.

“You’ll be joining us for the battle.” His fingers deftly undo the makeshift locking mechanism on the outside of the cage and he pulls the door open. ”Stretch and get ready.” He gets a wistful look in his eye as his friend stands and marches out of the confinement. ”When this is over, we’re all go home together, just like we intended before this nightmare began...”

“What about Beran...?” The Towering, scarred Garlean shakes his head with a frown and turns toward the darkness. All Wyatt can make out in the dim light is the frazzled locks of his once beautiful hair. “He’s out there somewhere. I’m sure of it.”

The Guardian pone el foco en el “limbo de Melilla” en el que están atrapados jóvenes refugiados

Aunque hace 10 años era el “sucio secreto” de Europa, hoy Melilla está considerada un ejemplo de cómo “sellar con vallas” a los inmigrantes, pero esta fortificación reforzada de la frontera ha fracturado a la ciudad y ha creado un limbo legal en el que viven atrapados centenares de jóvenes refugiados menores de edad. Es lo que destaca un reportaje del prestigioso diario británico sobre el enclave español en el Norte de África. Pone de relieve que la valla de Melilla está contribuyendo a mantener “protegida” la frontera sur de Europa, pero ha generado varios problemas sociales en una ciudad cuya razón de ser es la defensa. Y apunta que uno de los que más ha aumentado es el de los “menas”...
