    Is anyone else left cold by the notion of "regional humanitarian innovation hubs"?

    True. EU thought it would be so easy to get many to agree in return for cash. They underestimated the troubles and agendas of those they contacted. Those have enough stress on their own and don't want more to shoulder EU's egoism.

    Excited, delighted and even a little bit humbled to be sitting at home watching the World Cup on TV.

    About time that Malta stepped up!

    EU governments should act swiftly to ensure disembarkation in a safe EU port. Malta? France? Spain?

    Wow. Things are moving quickly in Addis. And Asmara...?

    Very good to see this view set out so clearly by the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed.

    Further reason for caution in relation to the role of the private sector in humanitarian action.

    First it was Facebook with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, then Google with Project Maven, Microsoft's support for ICE, and now Amazon doing the same. Massive moral leadership hole in big tech but employees deserve huge applause for holding their CEOs to account.

    Now that Tunisia has said no, it seems that the EU will see if it can persuade Albania to be a dumping ground for asylum seekers. What could possibly go wrong?

    Yes, government, coastguard, militia and smugglers are all closely intertwined.

    Unfortunately some still think that a "coastguard" force is legit The recent Libya sanctions targeted 6 smugglers and one of them was even head of regional coastguard in zawia

    In the middle of the night we reached a message: rubberboat in distress. Not far away from us. We offered our support to Alexander Maersk.They thankfully acceptet our offer. Now we are on scene and our RHIB Crew is assisting while the people have to climb a 5m knitting ladder.

    Is anyone in Brussels listening?

    Smuggling is a reaction to border controls, not the cause of unauthorized migration. Ironically, policies to 'combat' smuggling are doomed to fail because they are among the very causes of the phenomenon they pretend to 'combat'. 's graph summarizes it all.

    Isn’t it strange that the Australian media fully covers the news of US seperating kids from their families, but they’ve been censoring the same thing done by their own government for five years? Lets not forget that Australia has been shamelessly caging innocent children too.

    Rather than "smashing the smugglers' business model" (as promised by Federica Mogherini) the EU has stengthened it.

    “The same people who captured us in boats were also the same ones who would push us out to sea and then just wait to capture us again." A predictable consequence of the EU's support for the Libyan coastguard/militia.

    "Libya’s coast guard says it rescued over 760 migrants attempting the perilous trip to Europe over the past two days alone." In other words, over 760 people have now been thrown into overcrowded and abusive detention centres.
