Libyan smuggler says human trafficking will continue despite Italian deal
2017-09-20
Unexpectedly.
[TheLocal.it] Correspondents for The Local Italia spoke to a people smuggler in southern Libya who said Italia's plans to pay people not to engage in human trafficking are working. But he expects the lull to be temporary.

Ahmed *Essa’s business, like any other, operates under the basic principles of supply and demand. A 28-year-old Libyan from the minority Toubou ethnic group, Essa smuggles desperate migrants colonists fleeing violence and poverty from Niger to the southern Libyan city of Sabha.

This is the first leg on a commonly-used route toward the Libyan coast, which will enable Essa’s "African brothers" to get closer to their dream destinations in Europe.
