Four years since the peak of the migration crisis in Europe, member
states still have not found a coordinated solution to tackle migratory
consequences in an effective way.
Since populist and anti-migration governments succeed entering into European politics, the EU has made deals with several countries, such as Libya, Turkey or Niger, to keep asylum seekers away from Europe's shores.
In February 2017, EU leaders agreed on increasing cooperation with Libya to reduce irregular immigration - providing the country with €237m to fund programmes addressing migration challenges.
But, after deadly airstrikes hit detention centres this summer around Libya's capital, Tripoli, the EU is now planning on evacuating vulnerable migrants and refugees to Rwanda.
The east African country will receive some 500 migrants evacuated from Libya, although it is unclear when this will happen, according to the New York Times.
