Video posted by Sea-Watch International shows Libyan coast guard crashing into a dinghy with dozens of migrants on board. Rescue group Sea-Watch International has condemned European Union’s migration policy after posting a video showing a migrant and refugee boat in the Mediterranean coming under attack by the Libyan coast guard. It’s the reality of European migration policy, which is empowering these coast guards to make sure that less people are reaching European shores,” he added. The group added that despite the group’s several warnings, the coast guard still went ahead and crashed into the dinghy and destroyed it. Starting in 2015, the EU has provided financial support to the Libyan coast guard as part of its plan to reduce the migration of people from North Africa.
