Egypt's navy foils illegal migration attempts by 230 people in August
[AlAhram] Egypt's navy has foiled illegal emigration attempts by 230 individuals over the past two weeks, Egypt's military front man said in a statement on Tuesday.
Spokesman Tamer El-Refai said the navy was able to thwart multiple attempts during the period from 10 to 26 August.
The attempts were made by people of various nationalities, the statement said.
El-Refai also announced the seizure by Egypt's border guards of weapons and ammunition of various types, as well as 3,500 kg of narcotics.
Large numbers of people seek to migrate illegally from Egypt each year, often travelling first to Libya and then onward to Europe across the Mediterranean. Human-trafficking gangs operate from Libya, charging migrants colonists large sums of money to make the perilous journey.
Those seeking to travel to Egypt include both refugees and economic migrants colonists seeking work and better living conditions. Hundreds have been jugged
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
in Egypt for attempting to migrate illegally.
Cairo has increasingly focused on the migration issue in recent years, working with European nations to tackle the problem.
Following a migrant boat disaster in September 2016 that killed hundreds of people, a law was passed criminalizing unauthorized migration and human trafficking.
Libya says boats carrying 700 migrants have been intercepted
[Ynet] Libya's navy says it has intercepted and brought to shore vessels carrying nearly 700 migrants colonists trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe over the past two days.
Navy front man Col. Ayoub Qassem says the coasties of the UN-backed government in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
on Tuesday intercepted two boats together carrying 290 migrants colonists. A third vessel with 164 on board was intercepted off the coast of Sebratha.
With Italian help, the coasties intercepted a boat with 88 migrants colonists and another one with 134 migrants colonists on Monday.
