Migration: After the Balkan, the central Mediterranean
route makes EU dizzy
Written by: Rahal Taoussi
Brussels -
After drying up the migratory route of the Balkans
thanks to the agreement with Turkey in March 2016, the
28 countries of the European Union have to deal with the
rising central Mediterranean route, which gives a hard
time to the European leaders.
Overwhelmed
by incessant flows of migrants because of civil wars,
particularly in Syria and Iraq, the EU and Turkey
concluded on March 18, 2016, a comprehensive plan to
reduce migration to the old continent. The agreement,
which stipulated for each Syrian returned to Turkey from
the Greek islands, another Syrian is resettled from
Turkey to the EU, up to a maximum of 72,000 people, with
financial counterparts for Ankara, has drastically
reduced the arrivals of refugees.
At present,
the 28 of the EU are working to dry up the flow of
refugees and asylum seekers from the central
Mediterranean, especially through Libya.
In
preparation for the meeting of Heads of State or
Government to be held in Malta tomorrow, the European
Commission and EU High Representative Federica Mogherini
presented a few days ago their contribution to the
discussions on the how to "better manage migration and
save lives" along the Central Mediterranean route.
The
Commission and the High Representative have outlined a
number of additional measures to strengthen the EU's
efforts along this route, in particular with regard to
Libya and its region.
REPORT: Migrations: Nigerian leaves family, crosses
Sahara with dream of becoming football star in Europe
Written by
Fabiola Ortiz
Oujda, Morocco, Dec. 17 (Lusa) - Onoma Anigorigo, a 25-year-old citizen
of Nigeria now living in Morocco after crossing the Sahara, is awaiting
his chance to continue on to Europe to follow his dream of becoming a
football star.
"I want to try to play in Switzerland, Germany or France," said
Anigorigo, who three years ago left his wife and a seven-year-old
daughter in Nigeria in search of a decent living to support his family.
"I believe that I can get a job there too. I'm a hard-working man."
Starting out from Delta state in the south of Nigeria, he headed north
into Niger and then Algeria, before walking across the border into
Morocco one night before dawn.
So far he has played for small football clubs in Gambia and Morocco, but
none paid him.
Anigorigo managed to cross the border between Algeria and Morocco
despite its having been closed since 1994, when the government in Rabat
imposed visa requirements for Algerians.
The border between the two countries runs for 1,600 kilometres, making
it one of the longest closed borders in the world.
