(ANSAmed) - CAIRO, MAY 24 - The spokesman of the Libyan
Navy, Admiral Ayob Amr Ghasem, has challenged the German NGO
Jugend Rettet to produce ''incontrovertible'' evidence of the
accusations that he called ''illogical'' that the Libyan Coast
Guard had shot at boats carrying migrants.
In statements to ANSA, the spokesman said that if the NGO
really wanted to advance ''the interest of migrants'', they
should ''cooperate with us'' and not ''wage war'' on the Libyan
Coast Guard.
''Why would we have shot at boats if we are the ones that
always save them?'' the admiral asked, saying that a rescue had
been carried out on Tuesday.
''Why do they declare war on us?'', Ghasem asked, adding that
''they should instead cooperate with us if they actually want to
work in the interest of the migrants.''
Some ''biased organizations'', the spokesman claimed without
giving names, instead help human traffickers create a ''dream of
emigrating'' to Europe to profit from it. (ANSAmed).
