@RichardGrenell When Mr Salvini ordered the confiscation of the sea rescue boats in 2021, no more refugee boats left Libya, and this is because any boat longer than 20 metres can be tracked via the internet and a smartphone, and of course this is being used

@RichardGrenell and no refugee would take place in a nutshell without sufficient fuel for a crossing of 275 km open sea, without the position of the rescue ships having been checked beforehand.

@RichardGrenell The refugees may be desperate, but they are certainly not suicidal after paying so much money for the crossing. Every human trafficker and every refugee group has a Smartphone.

@RichardGrenell Whenever the sea rescue operation was operating off the coast of Libya, so many refugee boats set sail at the same time that some of them were not found.This was recorded statistically.

@RichardGrenell We had not reported any drownings for some time in 2021, until the private sea rescue services resumed their mission. They are currently destroying all the successes that have been achieved and this should not be allowed to happen.

@RichardGrenell The number of drowned People decreased in 2021 by 86,32 % compared to 2019, as can be checked on statista.

@RichardGrenell For fear of left-wing criticism, politicians are simply letting people drown in the Mediterranean and are allowing themselves to be blackmailed by NGOs. Here an excample. "Doctors Without Borders rejects money from EU"

@RichardGrenell In Africa, hundreds of thousands of people are dying miserably from malaria and AIDS. Doctors Without Borders are running some of these camps, where conditions are catastrophic due to a lack of medicine and equipment.

@RichardGrenell The local doctors would have preferred to see the leaders brought to justice when they started their blackmail attempts at the expense of those most in need of help.

@RichardGrenell I got a number of responses from the bishops, some of our politicians and the Interior Minister of Bavaria, for which I expressed my sincere thanks.

@RichardGrenell Politicians must force sea rescuers to comply with the 1953 Geneva Convention. To do this, our country must provide the Libyan coast guard with more boats to detain the sea rescue boats until Frontex accompanies the smugglers to the next safe harbor in Morocco and Egypt.

@RichardGrenell In 2016, a court ruled that ships are no swimming territories and cannot grant asylum and Morocco and Egypt are responsible for the refugees acording to the Geneva Convention.

@RichardGrenell The Libyan coast guard is trying to protect the sea border as best as possible, as human trafficking is one of the most lucrative businesses in the country. Border guards fear that human traffickers could become the country's new elite.

@RichardGrenell The income is invested in drugs, weapons and militias, and then these people becomes involved in the civil war. Combating the causes of flight must begin on the ground and in the transit countries!

@RichardGrenell We owe this to the Libyans after France and the USA, under the rule of the Democrats, plunged Libya into a never-ending civil war.

@RichardGrenell We Germans are asking for the help of our republicain friends so that they they talk to our politicians about this and take decisive action to put an end to the deaths in the Mediterranean. This is deeply unchristian behavior.

@RichardGrenell Everyone promised to end drownings in the Mediterranean and Mr Seehofer from the German CSU spoke of NGO traffickers, but now it is 2025 and people are still dying !
