"few vehicles but we trust Salvini's promises"

At the same time that the plan was taking shape – Salvini at the meeting of the Italian-Libyan bilateral commission in Tripoli yesterday, at the microphone of Euronews, the captain of the Libyan Coast Guard Abu Ajila Abdelbari speaks of the need more sea resources and is said to agree with the line of the Viminale head.

Euronews: What did you expect from Italy in the light of recent agreements with Italy and Salvini's immigration policy? [19659003] We only rely on the 4 boats that have already given us Italy but are not enough. Thanks to them, we saved many lives anyway. Italy has promised us in other ways. In the coming days, vessels of 27 meters will be given to us

There is a lot of collaboration with the Italian government. We want to prevent us from continuing with human trafficking.

Bringing back migrants is a message or crossing the sea is a waste of time and money. We are not against immigration but we are in favor of a legal immigration that avoids suicides at sea on inflatable boats

We would like the Italian ports to be closed and even European. The larger resources and the closure of the ports will solve the problem in two months.

Euronews : Many recently rescued migrants do not want to be brought back to Libya because they do not want to be put in detention centers that collapse

These centers are not luxury hotels number of migrants. Every time the migrants come back, the number goes up.

Agreements exist to ensure that migrants within centers are sent home to make room for newcomers.

If we accelerate this process or send people home, we can restore stability in the region.

Abdelbari also talks about tensions with NGOs, as in the case of the Proactiva Open Arms who recently attacked the Libyan coastguard for failing to manage rescues at sea.

Euronews : Qu & # 39; does it answer the NGOs that are attacking you, as in the case of the 100 migrants who died at sea last Friday?

We do not need to listen to them – they say that because they want to stay at sea. They have an agenda to follow and everyone knows it. They operate 14 to 15 miles off the coast where wrecks occur and it is weird. They are here to offer their help. These are free humanitarian cords that encourage migrants to cross the sea.
