(6 Jul 2017) Italy announced some 30 million euros (34 million US dollars) in new African investments aimed at preventing migrants from entering Libya or leaving it bound for Europe.
Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano announced the funding at a meeting on Thursday of foreign ministers from Libya, surrounding countries and a handful of interested European countries.
The meeting was focused on reinforcing border controls with Libya's neighbours, to prevent migrants from ever reaching Libya's lawless shores where smugglers operate.
Alfano said Italy was earmarking 10 million euros for the border-control effort with Niger, Chad and Sudan.
Another 18 million euros is slated to fund voluntary repatriations of migrants who reach Libya and decide not to continue their journeys north.
Italy is increasingly insisting it can no longer shoulder the burden of Europe's migrant crisis alone.
