Malta: Only Libyans can resolve the ongoing crisis

The Maltese ambassador in Libya Charles Saliba said he strongly believes that only the Libyan people can resolve the crisis in their country by resuming political dialogue.

Tye ambassador added on his Twitter account that Libya is “in Malta’s heart” and his country is ready to help alleviate the suffering of the people and work for a new beginning.

The Maltese Sunday Times reported last November that Malta signed a secret deal with Libya’s coast guard to intercept illegal immigrants and return them to Libya.

The Libyan embassy in Malta has denied the report of the Maltese Sunday Times newspaper which said a secret deal was signed by Malta with the Government of National Accord to intercept illegal immigrants.

The Libyan embassy said in a statement at the time that there are no secret migration deals with the Maltese government, adding that the two governments are cooperating in efforts to curb illegal immigration flow and human trafficking operations in the Mediterranean as per the 5+5 partnership and the commitment to the international humanitarian law.
