![🇮🇹 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni came to power in October last year promising a firmer grasp on immigration, but conditions at sea this summer appear to have accelerated migrant crossings, and heaped up pressure on Italy’s government. According to 🗞️ Euronews, “her efforts have not slowed the arrivals.” More than 100,000 migrants have landed on 🇮🇹 Italian shores so far this year, explains 🗞️ Euronews citing official data updated today by 🇮🇹 Italy’s Ministry of the Interior. The data shows that between January 1 and August 16, 101,386 migrants reached Italian shores. That’s more than double the number recorded in the same period in 2022, and almost triple that of 2021, when 34,556 landings were recorded. Among those who landed in 🇮🇹 Italy this year from 🌍 North Africa, the largest 📈 percentage came from 🇬🇳 Guinea and the 🇨🇮 Ivory Coast, followed by 🇪🇬 Egypt and 🇹🇳 Tunisia. 10,286 were unaccompanied children, a lower figure than the 14,044 last year. 🇮🇹 Meloni has enlisted the 🇪🇺 European Union’s help to forge a deal with 🇹🇳 Tunisia in a bid to stop the migrant boats in exchange for economic and other types of aid. The deal has been praised by many, including the 🇺🇸 White House. A joint statement between 🇮🇹 Meloni and 🇺🇸 President Joe Biden after her visit to Washington last month reads: “The United States and Italy note the vital importance of shared efforts to promote stability and prosperity in the wider Mediterranean region, including by addressing the root causes of […] irregular migration flows.” The statement further explains: “The United States welcomed […] the establishment of the “Rome Process” to promote partnerships between countries of origin, transit, and destination of migration in the broader Mediterranean region, the Middle East and Africa. In this framework, the United States takes note of the Italian government’s “Mattei Plan” for Africa.” #giorgiameloni #digitaldiplomacy](/video/cover/7268306370049494303.webp)
