Island for Immigrants

In early September 2015, Sawiris offered to buy an island off Greece or Italy. And develop it to help hundreds of thousands of people fleeing from Syria and other countries at war.

His message on Twitter.: “Greece or Italy sell me an island, I’ll call its independence and host the migrants and provide jobs for them building their new country.”

Sawiris said an island off Greece or Italy could cost between US$10 million and US$100 million. But added the “main thing is an investment in infrastructure. There would be temporary shelters to house the people. Then you start employing the people to build housing, schools, universities, and hospitals.

“And if things improve, whoever wants to go back (to their homeland) goes back,” said Sawiris.
