Pulbished on:
Paris, 24 March 2106(Lana) French Defence Minister Jean Yves Ledrian said Thursday that some 800000 migrants were in Libya waiting to cross to Europe. In an interview with the French Radio 1, Ludrian said the number of would be migrants is in hundreds of thousands, and said in reply to a journalist who claimed they were over 800000, the number was a bit accurate. 'We have to make sure that migrant trafficking dose not boost the resources of Da'esh with additional funds, the French Defence Minister said. Thus Europeans are demanding that the formation of a national unity government be accelerated to give permission to EU ships to trace down traffickers to the Libyan coasts, the Minister added. The formation of the national unity government is a priority, he added. The government is about to be formed and the regional key players should move to recognize it, in reference o Egypt, Turkey and Qatar. Once it is formed the government has to declare what it needed from the international community to deter three main threats: Da'esh which involves 4000 to 5000 fighters, migrant trafficking and weapons. =Lana=
