The foreign minister in the Beida-based interim government, Mohamed Dayri, has attacked the call for made by the president of the European parliament, Antonio Tajani, for the EU to set up refugee reception centres in Libya.
Tajani made the call in an interview two days ago with journalists from Germany’s Funke Mediengruppe while on a visit to the country. Proposing his own solution to the Mediterranean migrant crisis, he had also said that such centres must not become “concentration camps” and that there needed to be a Marshall Plan for Africa, to ensure people stay there; otherwise 20 million Africans would head to Europe in the next few years.
