If we look at the number of migrants who have passed through Libya - especially after the fall of Gaddafi - the figures are enormous and the vast majority went through Zawiya where Al-Bidja was captain.

Almost all of the refugees I spoke to - and I interviewed hundreds, if not thousands - almost all of them indicated that a coast guard was involved in the smuggling of migrants,

But it took years for it to come out.

But he is a known trafficker, who trafficked many things, gasoline, migrants.

And what is sad is that at the same time he was participating in discussions with Europeans on how to stop illegal immigration.

I have been saying for years that there are Libyan coast guards responsible for smuggling migrants.

When Italy decided to make an agreement with its coast guards, I was among the first to denounce this agreement, to say that those who traffic are the same who are paid by Europe to stop these networks of traffickers. . 

The way this traffic operates is as follows

: when someone wants to board a boat for Europe, he is in contact with a fixer, a trafficker who promises to put it on a boat.

But after that, the coast guard takes over.

Often it is people like Bidja - who are in high places, who have connections - who will put migrants on board such and such a boat, she

And if you put 500 people on a boat that can only hold 100 and there is an accident, then you are responsible for the deaths of these people.

Until now, those who have been pinned down by the government, have been second knives, so this time I am happy with the arrest of Abdelrahman Milad "Al-Bidja".

But I wonder what will happen to him: will he be transferred to the ICC or will he be tried in Libya, where there is a lot of corruption and where he can pay and be released. .

So I'm a little worried and I'm waiting to see where he will be brought to justice.
