Europeans vow more help to stem Libya-Italy migrant flow
2017-07-04
[AlAhram] La Belle France, Germany and the EU's migration chief have pledged more money for Libya's coasties and increased efforts to help Italia cope with a surge of migrant arrivals from Africa.

The French Interior Ministry said in a statement Monday that it also will work on a "code of conduct" for aid groups working in the Mediterranean.

The EU migration commissioner and German, French and Italian interior ministers held a crisis meeting Sunday night after Italia pleaded for European help.

Some 10,000 migrants colonists were rescued from the sea in recent days.

The officials promised additional money and training for the Libyan coasties and to find ways to reinforce Libya's largely lawless southern border, which smugglers exploit to shuttle African migrants colonists to Europe.
