(by Rodolfo Calò) (ANSAmed) CAIRO, MARCH 7 – The migrant flux through Libya is undergoing some changes recently, most in terms of numbers and routes, especially due to the civil war in Syria. However the massive arrival of migrants in Italy can’t be explained by the rescues carried out by the Italian Navy-led operation Mare Nostrum.
So says a recent report by the Institute of International Affairs(Iai). The dossier recalls that from the beginning of 2000 the number of migrants who undertook to cross the Mediterranean on the route from Libya the annual average was generally under 40,000 but that in 2014 this skyrocketed up to 120,000 people landing in Sicily most of whom left from Libya.
