Forty organizations have urged civil society to demonstrate against the Italy-Libya memorandum during a demonstration organized next Wednesday at 5.30 pm in Rome’s Esquilino square. “If by November 2 the Italian government will not decide for its suspension,” the NGOs said in a joint statement. “The memorandum will be automatically renewed for another three years,” it added. “It is an agreement that has had dramatic consequences for the past five years on the life of thousands of migrant and refugee women, men and children. The NGOs are also asking to “shed light on the management of European funds financing Libyan coast guards”.
