Why is there such a decline when there are more refugees and migrants travelling around the world than ever before? The fact that fewer are arriving in Italy by sea has to do with what is happening in Tunisia and Libya. The EU and Italy have concluded agreements with both countries. Money is flowing to Tunis and Tripoli in return for stopping migrants there. In 2023, the EU promised Tunisia 105 million euros for this, and Italy and France want to give more money. read more

The traditional date of August 15, when the Interior Ministry takes stock of “migration flow management” and border control, is approaching. For weeks this year, various government representatives, starting with Giorgia Meloni, have been extolling the “successes” achieved in reducing arrivals by sea, on the central Mediterranean route, and the progress made in outsourcing agreements with transit countries, especially Libya and Tunisia. Although in these countries the collaboration with Italy on the front of “countering illegal immigration” is producing an exacerbation of the political confrontation, in Tunisia, and military in Libya, with the cancellation of the human rights of migrants and with a further widespread strengthening of criminal organizations that nevertheless manage to exploit the “prohibition” of migration. Not to mention the increasing number of victims at sea. read more

SOS Humanity criticised the fact that the remaining 200 survivors had to endure the long journey to Genoa in the heat on deck unnecessarily and against the law. read more
