EU to increase lethal migration cooperation with Libya

The EU is set to fund migration control infrastructure in the eastern region of Libya, a move that will increase cooperation with general Khalifa Haftar, once a pariah to western states. The plan to extend EU cooperation into eastern Libya comes despite long-standing condemnation of Libyan and EU involvement in human rights abuses, shooting at NGO vessels, and accusations of crimes against humanity.
