Osama Hammad, prime minister of the unrecognized government of eastern Libya, today underlined the need to strengthen "the capabilities of law enforcement in countries of origin and transit" to address the issue of irregular migration. The Government of National Stability (GSN, designated by the House of Representatives) reports this in a post on Facebook. “The General Command of the Armed Forces, together with the security agencies under the government of eastern Libya, has shown great concern about the issue of migration and migrants. The Prime Minister said: “There must be programs for development and growth in countries of origin to help provide a safe and stable life, thus avoiding the choice of migration. Hammad said that the "wrong policies" adopted by some countries intended to receive migrants are one of the causes of the "death of thousands of them at sea".
