Libya, the foreign minister to Italy: “Reopen the airports to our flights”

ROMA. Visit to Italy by the new Libyan foreign minister Najla al Mangoush, the young professor at an American university who in February, almost suddenly, was catapulted into one of the most delicate positions of the new transitional government of Libya. A visit that took place just as the latest tragedy at sea emerged, with about a hundred migrants dead in a shipwreck off the Libyan coast and with NGOs accusing the international community: a burning dossier, that of migrants, but on the agenda of the ministries of the Interior and not at the center of the minister’s mission.
