MOGADISHU (Kaab TV) – The European Union has launched a new plan aimed at preventing the increase in migrants crossing from Africa, many of whom face various dangers during their journeys.
Several member states of the European Union held a special meeting to discuss the new policy to curb irregular migration, which has reportedly risen sharply this year compared to previous years.
The EU is allocating funds to an operation designed to intercept migrants before they depart from North African countries, where they attempt to cross the Mediterranean Sea to reach neighboring European states.
Italy, which is the main entry point for migrants arriving by sea, had previously reached an agreement with Libya that failed to succeed. The plan had required the Tripoli-based government to return migrants and prevent their onward movement.
As the pressure has spread beyond Italy to other European countries, these states have now begun implementing a joint strategy to address the issue, investing significant financial resources in the execution of this new project.
