EUROPE if the world does not recognizes its self-declared Islamist government.

(threat by GADDAFI in 2009 and in 2011 by MAZEK)
Shortly
after the fall of GADDAFI, LIBYA’S Interior Minister SALAH MAZEK threatened EUROPE
to open the “gates to EUROPE” to the millions of economic refugees from CENTRAL
AFRICA, which LIBYA so far has stopped from fleeing to EUROPE, just as GADDAFI
has done during his reign. SALAH MAZEK said, LIBYA »is suffering" because
of the thousands of refugees from AFRICA that bring diseases, crime and drugs to
LIBYA. MAZEK said: "LIBYA has paid its price, now its EUROPA's turn to
pay." It was the second time Libya threatened with the migration weapon.

In a crude attempt to blackmail EUROPEAN
leaders officials in the war-torn country said they could lay on charter boats
to ship economic migrants from all over AFRICA across the MEDITERRANEAN.
And they hinted they could
abandon all border controls and police operations which are currently catching
hundreds of migrants trying to make the perilous crossing every day.
LIBYA
PROTECTING THE “GATES OF EUROPE”
One of LIBYA'S most senior
politicians said his country was fed up with "protecting the gates of EUROPE"
when the continent does not recognise the legitimacy of his government.
EUROPE has already been totally
overwhelmed by the numbers of migrants arriving in GREECE and ITALY, and any
move by LIBYA to relax border controls would prove devastating.
JAMAL ZUBIA, a spokesman for LIBYA'S
General National Congress party which seized the capital TRIPOLI last year,
said his country may also start refusing to repatriate migrants who have
already made it across the MEDITERRANEAN.
He said: "We are protecting
the gates of EUROPE, yet EUROPE does not recognize us and does not want to recognize us. So why should we stop the migrants here?"
EU'S
PATCHY RESPONSE TO THE CRISIS
LIBYA says it stops hundreds of EUROPE-bound
migrants every day with its 8,000-strong Department for Combatting Illegal
Immigration.

It also deploys coastguard boats
to carry out patrols and plug the huge gaps left by the EU's patchy response to
the crisis.
But Mr ZUBIA said his country
severely lacks the resources to continue such operations, saying the cost tens
of millions of pounds at a time when LIBYA is wracked by civil war.
He told the Daily Telegraph:
"If we were not a responsible state, we would hire boats and send the
migrants to EUROPE.
STRATEGIC
THREAT
"Every day we catch hundreds
of them, even though we do not have the necessary resources.
"It is a strategic threat,
yes, but I would not rule out us doing it one day."
EUROPE has been plunged into
chaos by one of the biggest migration crises in history, with the number of
refugees entering the continent by sea last month roughly topping the entire
amount for 2014.
LIBYA'S sitting regime, which
ousted the internationally recognized government in a military coup last
August, is not officially recognized on the world stage.
The country has no standing army,
and is descending into a civil war waged by several Islamist factions including
Islamic State.
