According to Hachani, it is "necessary" to provide more assistance to countries like Tunisia to face this challenge, as reported by Reuters. "A fragmented approach that fails to recognise the deep-seated structural drivers of human migration is inadequate to resolve the crisis," he adds. For his part, Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh said during the conference in Tripoli that for 10 to 50 years, funds were allocated to tackle the problem, but "it has not been solved". Dbeibeh stressed that this money should be invested in the countries of origin, and "not in detention camps, whether in Libya or in Europe". The flussi decree is a law promoted by the Italian executive that establishes how many non-European citizens can enter the country to work.

Italian offshore engineering and construction giant Saipem has been awarded a contract for supervision and subsea intervention services of the GreenStream pipeline between the Mellitah terminal in Libya and Gela in Italy. The new contract, awarded by midstream player GreenStream BV, merges the activities that Saipem has been undertaking for GreenStream since 2008 regarding asset integrity, inspection, maintenance, and emergency pipeline services, and expands them to cover a wider range of scenarios and needs. The activities will be managed by Sonsub, Saipem’s centre of excellence for robotics, underwater technologies and services, and executed in coordination with the Saipem Engineering Hub located in Fano, Italy. With this award, Saipem will contribute to managing the integrity of a fundamental underwater infrastructure for the Italian energy supply. This also adds to the long-term cooperation between Saipem and GreenStream BV, which in 2002 awarded the Italian firm with a contract for the pipelaying of said pipeline.

Body found, 9 men rescued in search for missing tanker crew off OmanAL-MUKALLA: Nine crewmen from an oil tanker that capsized off Oman have been rescued and a body recovered, the Omani maritime agency said on Thursday. “Search-and-rescue efforts are still ongoing to locate the remaining missing crew members,” the Omani center said. Environmentalists say that a leak from a tanker targeted by the Houthis in the Red Sea has resulted in a 200 km slick moving south, threatening the area’s already fragile ecosystem. “The Red Sea is home to various protected species, including turtles, sharks, and fish such as the coral grouper.

Armed groups clashed in a seaside town outside the Libyan capital late Tuesday, killing a woman bystander and sowing panic among beachgoers, emergency services and media reports said. "The woman died after being hit in the head" by a stray bullet, emergency services spokesman Oussama Ali told Al-Ahrar television. Libyan media reported that the clashes broke out after fighters of one armed group detained a member of a rival group. A myriad of armed groups have vied for control of the North African country ever since a NATO-backed uprising toppled and killed longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. In August last year, 55 people were killed in the fiercest clashes to hit the capital in a year.

The USA and the West are supporting Ukraine against Russia, effectively preventing an early victory for the latter largely due to the actions of the “King of the World,” Joe Biden. Fortunately, the would-be “king of the world,” Donald Trump, was attacked— not by a Muslim, Black, Asian, or Hispanic terrorist or criminal— but by a young 20-year-old white boy. Regardless of the reasons, this attack is going to change the USA and the rest of the world in several ways. Globally, the incident could affect perceptions of US stability and the effectiveness of its democracy, potentially weakening its moral authority on the world stage. For the rest of the world, the message is clear: their “king” is not safe even in his own highly guarded fortress.

CAIRO (AP) — A mass grave containing two dozen unidentified bodies was discovered in the coastal city of Sirte, once controlled by the Islamic State group, a Libyan government agency said Monday. No details were provided about the potential date when the mass grave was created. However, Sirte city was a stronghold for IS for several years until the militants were expelled in December 2016 by U.S.-backed forces in western Libya. The Libyan authority also said Monday that workers with the forensic medicine department took DNA samples from a total of 59 unidentified bodies for testing. In March, the UN migration agency sounded the alarm after discovering a mass grave in western Libya that contained the bodies of at least 65 migrants.
