Premier Paolo Gentiloni said Friday
that the government has signed a 50-million-euro agreement with
Niger to help strengthen border controls. "The signing of the
agreement features financial aid of 50 million euros by Italy
with the aim of reinforcing Niger's capacity to control the
borders in order to reduce migrant flows," Gentiloni said after
meeting Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou. "Niger to Libya and
Libya to the EU via Italy is biggest of the migratory routes
from Africa".
