The EU’s foreign policy chief has defended a deal to finance migrants camps in Libya.<br /><br /> Leaders agreed to send some 200 million euros to the Libyan government during a summit in Malta last week as part of strategy to to stem immigration from Africa.<br /><br /> “When the UNHCR manages to operate in a centre and then identifies someone as someone in needs and having the right to international protection,” said Federica Mogherini, the EU foreign policy chief.<br /><br /> “The UNHCR starts a resettlement program and those persons are resettled being it in Europe, being it in Canada or in the US, that I don’t know… or elsewhere in the world.”<br /><br /> The EU wants to help Libya’s coast guard to stop migrants leaving in the first place. Leaders also pledged to help with protecting its southern border.<br /><br /> But Libya has been ravaged by conflict since the fall of Muammar Gadaffi in 2011.<br /><br /> The UN-backed government doesn’t control all of the country; there’s a rival administration in the east. And the so-Called Islamic State also operates there.<br />
