Trilateral Discussions on Migration and Security are Held Between Libya, Italy, and Turkey
Libya, which has remained divided since the 2011 NATO-backed rebellion that overthrew longtime autocrat Moammar Gadhafi, is facing urgent migratory and security issues. The presidents of Turkey, Italy, and Libya’s Tripoli-based administration gathered in Istanbul on Friday to address these issues.
Since Gadhafi’s overthrow, Libya has been divided between opposing regimes. Hammad is in charge of the eastern government, which is supported by military leader Khalifa Hifter, while Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah is in charge of the UN-recognized government in Tripoli.
Libya continues to be a vital starting point for perilous Mediterranean crossings to Europe, serving as a significant transit hub for migrants escaping violence and poverty in Africa and the Middle East.
Working with Libya and Turkey is crucial since Italy, under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s administration, has stepped up efforts to reduce migrant arrivals. Although long-term solutions are still difficult, the trilateral discussions sought to address security cooperation and migration management.
The summit emphasized the necessity of regional cooperation to stabilize Libya and control migratory flows, given the country’s ongoing conflicts and the way human traffickers take advantage of the upheaval.
