Libya: How the migrant’s case turns in a politico-diplomatic mean
Unfortunately, the distant dream of these massive migrants was going to be cut by the heavy fighting between the rebels and the loyalists, raising the prospect that the flow of migrants will continue by sea as well as by land. Consequently, the Libyan civil war is going to have, as collateral victims, all these migrants forced to leave the country on board rickety boats, some of which sank before reaching Europe’s shores. The last boat carrying 600 people, leaving Libya for Italy, would have disappeared and sank off the coast of Tripoli. Before the conflict, the Libyan authorities were preventing the departure of migrants to Europe because there were patrolling and policing around the national waters; but today and because of the war, things have changed and all the agreements and principles are completely ignored, and what was forbidden becomes possible in the name of maintaining the longtime Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s regime, today rejected by the rebels. The police has became blind with the eyes wide open, and it is reported that the Libyan security forces would organize these hazardous trips by boats, escorted by Libyan Navy fast patrols to the international waters, then gave navigation instructions to the boats’ skippers, against cash compensations. Finally, the migrant destiny has become, in Libya, more than a social and human case, but a mean of a new war tactics, passing from the “Human Shield” against the NATO Coalition attacks, to the politico-diplomatic mean against particularly Italy and France.
