Abstract

The dilemma of migration in the Mediterranean basin has exacerbated and has become one of the most interesting phenomena, by researchers and politicians, due to the tragic human situation that left it behind and still is. After the international struggle between the great powers over influence in the two regional regions of Africa, the Sahel and the Sahara, and Libya and Syria, in which the collapse of the state led to an acceleration of the pace of migration across them, and the flight of the population from the state of war and the devastation it left behind, to the neighboring regions-countries in search of safe havens. In this regard, the conflicting powers over influence and control in the Mediterranean basin did not care except with the calculations of their interests and the requirements of their influence, and their control geopolitically and geo-economically, until the collapsed Libya turned into a wide passage for the passage of large numbers of migrants fleeing the harsh climate, And from the deteriorating life in their countries, and from the loss of human security, in search of a comfortable life that they dream of in the countries of the European Union, which in turn suffered severe suffering in dealing with those crossing the Mediterranean, Because it falls between a humanitarian duty that requires increased financial expenditures, and a security concern that warns of the possibility of this migration destabilizing its security and deepening its social and cultural gap.
