A senior official of Libya's illegal immigration agency has denied evidence of the UAE's involvement in supporting and financing human trafficking involving African migrants in Libya.
"The UAE authorities are not the only authorities involved in this trade. There are other countries, but the objectives are different," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of his information. To European countries, including the political financing of the Emirates and others for these activities. "
"The talk is long and difficult and the difficulty lies in separating the role of this country from the roles of other countries and parties, but I can talk about stations and names useful in uncovering its role," he said, pointing out that the financing of this country for human trade is not only in Libya.
"At first, illegal migration is affected in Libya because of the internal differences between the EU countries. Italy and its allies, Britain and the Netherlands, are already trying to stop this imminent danger.
But other countries, particularly Germany, seem to be at their side, demanding other treatments, first and foremost to support those hungry people in their home countries so that they do not have to emigrate.
The position of France can be understood as the convoys of human traffickers pass by their base in Madama, on the Libyan-Nigerian border, without objecting to them. They know that they are going to the camps of torture and death. "Pointing out that this dispute has affected the treatment of Europe with the threat of migration and human traffickers significantly as one of the most important aids to Libya in the face.
"Human trafficking is complex and is controlled by Libyans, Sudanese and Negrians, but their keys are in the hands of the Eritreans, and there are hidden and supportive hands, including France and the UAE," the official said.
"Investigations with migrants at Libyan shelters prove that a tribe known as Rashaida in Eritrea controls this trade, and our documents, including intercepted phone calls, confirm that the Abu Dhabi Authority is behind the encouragement and support of dangerous names acting as human traffickers, (Kadi), from the town of Uday Khala, another from Abu Hamdi, who lives in Kassala, and a third from his name (Di Toldi), an Ethiopian. "The main names are 11 dangerous smugglers who travel between Ethiopia and Libya, Active in Sinai in Egypt as well. "
"Multiple networks of allegiance and countries behind them have huge potentials. How can we confront them with a few possibilities? Yes, we gather information and provide sources such as the Eurojust, but we are already on the lookout. They are stronger and more experienced in camouflage and escape."
As for the form of funding and support that the UAE is believed to provide to these smugglers, the official said, "such as providing them with modern desert transport vehicles, many of which have been seized, as well as armaments, the smugglers' networks are not only smuggling people but also other activities."
The source pointed to another form of support is to provide protection to senior smugglers, and said, "In 2015 our device was caught on a runaway we were following (Ramias Germay) was an employee of the Eritrean embassy in Tripoli and used his job to facilitate the arrival of migrants to Libya through its multiple allies from Eritrea To the Sudan and to Libya, and inform the parents of immigrants to migrate through the sea through the embassy. "
"The man was in the prison of the device by rail in Tripoli, but one side succeeded in smuggling it, and we have confirmed that the Emiratis are behind the smuggling through gunmen in Tripoli," he said, "he appeared later in Sabrata, west of Tripoli, one of the most important points Smuggling through the sea as the most important smugglers and continued to work under the auspices of a famous smuggler named Musab Buqrin from the city itself.
The source said that "Sabratha has been a place of great rivalry between two senior militias over the past years. The first is led by a young smuggler who recently emerged as Ahmed al-Dabbashi, known as al-Amo.
Italy tried to get close to him through figures in the Al-Wefaq government and signed an agreement with him last August.
The other militias that have not been highlighted are led by Musab Bouqrin, which is nothing more than an accomplice to the crime of smuggling people and fuel and has suspicious contacts with terrorist groups. "
"After the deal between Alamo and the Italian side, there was a great deal of disagreement between the two teams against the backdrop of the demands to share the promised money in that ill-fated agreement, which was not," the official said. Which ended in fighting and armed clashes. The Al-Wefaq government used the support of Italian events and formed what was known as a fighting room that called for Sabratah, which fought fierce fighting during the months of September and October last, ended with full control of the city and the expulsion of the militia Outside. "
But the official explained, "The European investigation authorities were able to reach the (Almo) after being expelled from Sabratha and revealed a lot of secrets, including Musab relationship with local allies behind the UAE in this activity.
And we knew through them that Jeremy is behind Musab, "he continued, wondering," Where is Jerami and Musab now? There are political deals taking place in secret between those countries do not know the results, but it is certain that the file of Garmi and his companion, who represents his armed back was executed so as not to reveal the secrets of Haftar and his allies.
At the same time, the official stressed, "I do not think it is possible to prove the involvement of the UAE and other countries. They do not deal directly with human traffickers and do not interfere in details, but they finance them for the continuation of the phenomenon of smuggling for many political reasons." Will not forgive them the sin of trading the conditions of the poor hungry man who risks himself for shelter, food and life fleeing the misery and death in his country. "
"It seems that there are targets in more than one country, but we can talk about Libya at least. It is noticeable that this trade is almost non-existent in the east of the country and is active," the source said. In the west, where various armed factions are in control.
But apparently they are armed factions opposed to the project of Hafar al-Askari, an ally of the UAE, thus portraying the opposition of its ally badly to public opinion. "It is also likely that the UAE is working to encourage" migration to certain countries in Europe, "to use them as a pressure on these countries, Political objectives.
"The mystery of the presence of the UAE in Libya is great; for the first time in its history, it intervenes militarily through its flight outside its borders and is very committed to supporting the Haftar project," he said.
