Extremist groups like the Islamic State group reap millions of dollars by smuggling people from the Middle East and Africa into Europe, a fresh report reveals, adding that some 170,000 refugees traveled by sea to Europe in 2014. Frontex, the border-surveillance organization of the European Union, predicts the number will be higher this year.<\/p>\n

Officials from Africa and the European Union have been trying to find ways to prevent illegal migration. The Guardian reported<\/a>\u00a0that Europe has plans to smash Libyan smuggling networks using military power.<\/p>\n

The 19-page strategy paper insists on establishing a European presence in North Africa, after making agreements with specific authorities. \u201cThe operation would require a broad range of air, maritime and land capabilities,\u201d the paper says. \u201cThese could include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; boarding teams; patrol units (air and maritime); amphibious assets; destruction air, land and sea, including special forces units.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sources of funding for the Islamic State group have changed significantly since 2014. Time magazine\u00a0reports<\/a> that, while the militant organization used to get cash through oil smuggling, those earnings have been hugely affected by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes that target the oil facilities.<\/p>\n

The Islamic State group — also known as ISIS or ISIL — reportedly needs at least $523.5 million a year to continue its operations and $815.3 million every year to buy weapons, run services and pay fighters.<\/p>\n

A migrant from Senegal told Time in April that he had to pay several militant groups at each step of the migration process. The man said that it cost around $2,150 for him to set off his journey from the Libyan coast.<\/p>\n

However, Federica Mogherini, the EU\u2019s chief foreign and security policy coordinator, dismissed the idea of military interference. \u201cWe are not planning in any possible way a military intervention in Libya,\u201d she said Wednesday. But she expects a prompt resolution by the U.N. Security Council so that force could be used against the smugglers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
