French President Emmanuel Macron says the plan by the European Union to create migrant-processing centres in North Africa will not work.

 

President Macron said the plan can only materialize if the process is spearheaded by the countries designated to host such facilities.

 

The French President, who gave this indication in an interview with the BBC in Lagos, conceded that Europe would be dealing with the issue of migration from Africa for decades.

 

He said many African countries were worried about creating a pull factor for migrants if the proposed centres were set up.

 

President Macron said Europe would enforce its external border, whilst working with allies to stabilise the situation in Libya to prevent smugglers from taking migrants on the perilous journeys across the Mediterranean.
