Libyan Army Intercepts 360 Migrants
|
[LibyaReview] On Sunday, the 128th Enhanced Brigade of the Libyan National Army (LNA) announced that it had stopped 360 migrants colonists from crossing the Mediterranean, via the coast of Sirte.
In a statement, the LNA-affiliated brigade indicated that they handed the migrants colonists over to the Directorate for Combatting Illegal Migration (DCIM), along with their belongings, money, mobile phones, and passports.
Libya is a key departure point for migrants colonists seeking to reach European shores, often in poorly-maintained vessels.
The Italian news agency, Nova reported that LNA Naval forces, in the east of the country, intercepted and returned around 3,400 migrants colonists in the last five weeks.
"This is significant progress in combating human trafficking along the eastern Libyan route, from Cyrenaica towards Europe," Nova said in its report.
Sources from the Ministry of the Interior said that "more than 30,000 migrants colonists from 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...
and about 18,000 from Cyrenaica arrived in Italia in 2022."
The last operation took place on Friday, 30 December, off the eastern coast of Libya. Naval units intercepted a boat with between 600-700 people aboard. In a statement, the Libyan Coast Guard said that it was one of the largest interceptions of migrants colonists seeking to reach Europa
 ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
via Libya.
It noted that the boat was stopped close to the Mediterranean town of Moura, 90 kilometers (56 miles) west of Benghazi.
The Libyan Coast Guard posted images showing a large, overcrowded vessel with most of those on board appearing to be young people.
Previously, the same naval forces had reported, on 26 December, another 500 migrants colonists intercepted at the sea.
According to the Libyan office of the IOM, eastern authorities intercepted at sea 3,404 people and returned them to Libya in the last five weeks of 2022.
In August last year, Italian military vessels aided a boat crammed with 539 migrants colonists off the southern island of Lampedusa. The boat was launched from Libyan shores.
Libya has in recent years emerged as the dominant transit point for migrants colonists seeking a better quality of life in Europe. The oil-rich country plunged into chaos following a NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
-backed uprising that toppled and killed longtime autocrat Muammar Qadaffy
...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards , and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland...
in 2011.
Human traffickers in recent years have benefited from the chaos in Libya, smuggling in migrants colonists across the country’s lengthy borders with six nations. The migrants colonists are then packed into ill-equipped rubber boats and other vessels and set off on risky sea voyages.
