EU pledges more funds to Egypt and Libya over Sudan migration

Original: Von der Leyen pledges more cash for Egypt and Libya regimes to keep Sudanese genocide victims out of Europe

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has pledged additional funding to Egypt and Libya, a move framed by EUobserver as paying both regimes to prevent Sudanese fleeing genocide and war from reaching Europe. The pledge comes as Sudan's civil war drives mass displacement and refugees seek routes north through Libya and Egypt toward the Mediterranean. Critics argue the EU is outsourcing border control to countries with poor human rights records, leaving vulnerable Sudanese at risk.

Why now: Sudan's worsening war and refugee crisis have renewed debate over EU migration funding to North African states.
