EU, UN and AU Agree on Emergency Plan For Migrants in Libya
The European Union, United Nations and the African Union have agreed to an emergency plan to dismantle people smuggling networks and repatriate stranded migrants in an effort to ease a human rights disaster in Libya.
The development came as the EU pledged a Marshall Plan for Africa of €44 billion at a summit dominated by outrage over slave auctions in Libya of migrants sold “like goats”.
“The goal will be in very short order to be able to arrest identified traffickers, dismantle these networks and their financing which goes through banks and payments that in the region contribute … to sustaining terrorism,” French President Emmanuel Macron.

‘I achieved the greatest professional success of my life when I was 55’
“I often tell young people that I went to Kenya when I was 55 years old, I achieved the greatest professional achievement of my life when I was 55, not when I was 35! It does come to you, it doesn’t always come to you in the very beginning though. At that point, 55 years old was the official retirement age at Vodafone,” Michael Joseph, the former Chief Executive Officer of Safaricom spoke candidly to Paula Nasser,Senior Global Communications Manager at Vodafone about his life, successes, failures and what he aims to achieve in his life.
He came to Kenya following his career dream to be a CEO, and stayed there following his heart – he loves the country, its wildlife and its people. He has a house in northern Kenya, where he wants to spend the rest of his life. It was in Kenya that he met his fourth wife, Sian, and it was there too that he achieved the most remarkable highlights of his career, at the age of 55, when many are thinking about retirement. Read
