Libya Conflict Migrants


International Organization for Migration (IOM) Director-General William Lacy Swing (R-2) talks to African migrants at the Tripoli branch of the Anti-Illegal Immigration Authority, in the Libyan capital as he visits with UN Libya envoy, Martin Kepler (R-1), on March 22, 2017. Libya had rescued 420 migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, navy spokesman General Ayoub Qassem said on March 20, 2017, but three were found dead and 30 reported missing. Of them were 205 Africans which “were on two inflatable dinghies that had started to take on water”, according to Qassem. / AFP RSS PHOTO / MAHMUD TURKIA
