'Our priority is to save lives' says coast guard intercepting migrants off Tunisia's coast

[AFRICANEWS] Tunisia’s eastern coast, notably the port city of Sfax, has become the main launching point for ~~migrants~~ colonists, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, to get to Italia and other parts of Europa

...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
in small boats.

The Tunisian National Coast Guards spent 24 hours at sea intercepting and rescuing an ever-increasing number of ~~migrants~~ colonists. Mouh detailed the opération on Thursday (Aug. 10).

"Since the beginning of this month until now, in just ten days, the centre's maritime sector has arrested around 3,000 ~~migrants~~ colonists, 90% of whom are Sub-Saharan and the remaining 10% Tunisian."

According to the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, boat crossings across the central Mediterranean is the main route for irregular migrant entries to Europe. This route is also the most dangerous, figures by the International Migration Organization show.

"Our first priority is to save human lives. There's no doubt about that. You have seen that during these 24 hours we have carried out several rescue operations. There were three boats that broke down, whose passengers were rescued, and the rescue operations were not easy for us."

Italia’s PM enlisted the EU's help to forge a deal with Tunisia in a bid to stop the migrant boats in exchange for economic and other aid.
