According to the 2017 agreement between Italy and Libya, vans, ambulances, boats, satellite phones and other equipment would still be missing from the appeal of Tripoli's equipment. As the Corriere della Sera writes, the Italian expenditure, to honor the agreement, would have had to amount to about 800 million euros. The agreement never went ahead as agreed so much so that now Rome is asking Tripoli to revisit it. It does not seem true for the Libyans to sit down again at a negotiating table to raise the stakes and ask more and more from Italy with the promise, to date not kept, to contain the migratory flows towards our country.

Yesterday, then the news that Abdui Rhaman Milad, called by the migrants Bija is the human trafficker who, according to the ongoing investigations of the Agrigento prosecutors, plays a dual role: an officer of the Libyan Coast Guard by day and a human trafficker by night. Hence the Italian doubts about the effective strategic value of the aid given to the Libyans.

There are 10 patrol boats and four helicopters for search and rescue at sea, this is the promise of the 2017 agreement, partially disregarded because the embargo prevents the provision of aircraft and therefore it was decided to continue only with the 10 patrol boats.

The bilateral agreement provides for Italy to provide training, equipment and support for the Libyan coast guard and would do so through the European mission Eunavfor Med - Operation Sophia, whose headquarters is in Rome in the military grounds of Rome- One hundred cells. The Libyans train with multinational personnel at the Maddalena Navy base.

Given that helicopters cannot be given yet, the 30 jeeps delivered had to guarantee ground surveillance. Patrol services that in reality do not seem to be working given the migrants departing from the Libyan coast. The list also includes vans, ambulances, coaches, cars, satellite phones, diving equipment, oxygen tanks, day and night binoculars. In this same chapter, the shipment of containers with the equipment for setting up an operations room that the Libyan government had requested was foreseen, ensuring that it would cooperate with the center of Rome in the management of rescue at sea.

As the Corriere della Sera writes, tenders have been launched for each item, but the procedure is not yet completed and therefore at the time of renegotiating the Memorandum it seems obvious that the Libyans decide to further up the ante, especially as regards financing of projects. Thus opening a parallel channel, a negotiation that must inevitably involve the secret services.

In the letter already sent to the Tripoli authorities, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio highlighted the need to "renegotiate" in particular the two articles that require respect for the human rights of migrants. Remove the control and management of Libyan collection centers, considered by migrants to be real concentration camps, entrusting them under the aegis of UN-registered organizations.
