If Giorgia Meloni is a ‘fascist’… what’s Malta’s entire political establishment? What are we to say about Meloni’s approach towards immigration, that it actually falls far short of the extremes that both Labour and PN have gone to, in their attempts to ‘discourage irregular immigrants from reaching our shores’?

A division emerged between the country’s wealthier west and the east that’s home to much of Libya’s oil production. Neither of Libya’s governments have managed to fully restore order in their territories or confiscate weapons looted during the overthrow of Qaddafi. As for European nations, Libya’s vast oil reserves -- Africa’s largest -- and its location just across the Mediterranean have given them a stake in the outcome. European governments appear most concerned with stopping Libya being used as a stepping-off point for African migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean. Libya’s oil reserves give it ample resources to pay for a national reconstruction effort, if only its political squabbles can be resolved.

“The cases we have been able to document represent only the tip of the iceberg,” said OMCT Secretary General Gerald Staberock. “Extrajudicial executions of defenceless civilians, often accompanied by horrific torture, are now endemic in Libya as government agents and armed militias unleash indiscriminate violence with impunity,” he said. Staberock stressed that “the world cannot remain complacent and allow these heinous crimes to become the new normal”. Of the total 581 civilians killed, 487 died in the northern, eastern and western parts of the country, while the rest were killed in southern regions. The figure is in addition to the mass graves found in Tarhuna following the killings in April 2019.

Italy's incoming far-right government will most likely attempt to usher in reforms to deny people their right to asylum. Among them is a proposal for a "European military mission, carried out in agreement with the Libyan authorities," to stop people from fleeing towards Italy. The agreement helps finance the Libyan coast guard, including with boats, who then prevent departures in the first place. That means more money and boats for the Libyan coast guard. What is possibly more feasible is Meloni's idea of offshoring the entire asylum process to countries outside the European Union.

Egypt has been one of the HoR’s most crucial allies, providing weapons, military support, and safe haven through Libya’s eastern border.
