EU launches 'military' operation to arrest Mediterranean migrant smugglers

British navy ship among six taking part in second phase of operation to dismantle network of Mediterranean smugglers



A military operation to catch migrant traffickers begins on Wednesday, with European warships patrolling international waters in the Mediterranean to arrest smugglers dubbed the "mafia of the sea".
The European Union's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini announced last month that EUNAVFOR MED, an operation launched to dismantle the network of smugglers abetting the migrant boat crisis, was to enter its second phase.

Migrant crisis makes me ashamed to be in EU, says Greek PM

Alexis Tsipras issues strongly worded condemnation of EU failure to prevent refugee deaths, at end of week in which at least 50 people drowned in Aegean

  

Alexis Tsipras, the Greek prime minister, said the deaths of refugees on the shores of the holiday islands of the Aegean have made him ashamed to be part of the European Union.

In a powerful speech coming at the end of the one of the worst weeks for deaths in the Aegean, the Greek leader said Western countries that took part in military interventions in countries like Iraq and Syria bore much of the responsibility for the mass exodus of refugees from the Middle East.

At least 50 people drowned attempting to cross the sea between Turkey and Greece this week, including many children.
