Libyan political analysts warn, in their conversation with “Sky News Arabia”, that Libya will remain a shelter for illegal immigration gangs, as long as the imposition of the arms embargo on the national army continues.
The International Organization for Migration published a report on illegal immigration across the Mediterranean since 2014, which was viewed on the “Sky News Arabia” website.
The report’s standout point is: A new Italian strategy
Due to its proximity to the shores of Libya and Tunisia, Italy is one of the nations that suffers from the influx of immigrants.
To counter migrant boats, Rome has agreements with Libya, Tunisia, and other countries.
The illegal immigration is one of the top priorities of the new Italian Prime Minister, Gigeria Miloni, who said that the government wants to end human trafficking in the Mediterranean and plans to put into practise the original proposal of the European Navy Mission “Sofia,” which calls for the prevention of boats from North Africa, but it is, but it is The way this strategy will be put into practise.
She did, however, make a suggestion that her nation, which entirely forbids such boats from visiting its coasts, may impose a marine siege on them.
Why is Libya a route for unauthorised immigration?
The pain won’t go away anytime soon.
Ibrahim Al-Fitouri, a political analyst from Libya, claims that Italy will not be able to quickly address the issue of illegal immigration because of Libya’s size and the absence of internal security controls.
Al-Fitouri, for instance, is confirmed by reports from throughout the world that smuggling organisations are skilled at bringing migrants and delivering them to the Libyan coastline because to the enormous earnings that have reached billions of dollars since 2011.
According to Al-Fitouri, the European Union’s maritime operations to deal with immigration may have decreased the number of people coming in, but they did not stop it. He thinks that the real solution is to lift the embargo on arming the Libyan National Army, which was put in place following the protests and demonstrations of 2011, so that the army can deal with these gangs.
According to Sultan Al-Barouni, a political analyst from Libya, his country will continue to be “one of the countries that find the gangs of illegal immigration in it a comfortable environment, so that the legitimate authorities in the country are trained to remove this trade.”
particularly along the “bloody migratory road” 29,000 migrants were killed in 8 years
