(ANSA) - LONDON, DECEMBER 07 - The governments of Great Britain and France have both given an "inhuman" response to the migrating chrysideans in the English Channel. This was said at an online press conference in London after he received the Nobel Prize in Literature medal at the Swedish ambassador's residence in the UK capital.
The author blames the attitude of London and Paris, which had shed their responsibilities especially after the recent wreck in the English Channel in which 27 migrants lost their lives.
But it specifically targets the Kingdom government, where you have seen it since the 1960s.
"It is rather strange to note the type of language, the narrative that was built against or on these attempts at crossing," he stressed.
Gurnah also said he wondered if the reason for the British government's failure to congratulate his Nobleman could be that he is an African-born writer.
"It's possible that this is the explanation, that they don't see me as someone they owe their congratulations to."
