Tunisia Telegraph: Turkey Dominates as Europe Invests Billions to Halt Migration
The article discusses the European Union's migration management policy through enhanced cooperation with its external neighboring countries, especially Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, with the aim of preventing irregular migration flows before they reach Europe. It highlights that Turkey serves as the primary model for this policy, as Brussels has signed agreements since 2015 under which Turkey receives billions of euros to support its borders and monitor refugee flows, although the issue remains a political leverage tool between Ankara and the EU. Morocco is considered an important Western gateway, with Europeans supporting its security capacities to monitor coastlines, particularly after the Melilla crisis. Tunisia receives financial assistance to strengthen its border control and human trafficking prevention efforts. In Egypt, the EU launched a strategic partnership valued at 7.4 billion euros until 2027 to deepen understanding on migration issues. Libya, Mauritania, and Senegal act as advanced frontline lines to oversee migration routes across the Central Mediterranean, amid increasing attempts to cross via the Canary Islands. Within Europe, France and the UK support coastal surveillance through bilateral agreements as part of the "external wall" policy, which aims to reduce migrant crossings. However, this approach raises questions about migrants' rights and the financial burdens placed on the involved countries.
