France to Open Asylum Centers in Niger, Chad
2017-10-10
[AnNahar] La Belle France will open offices in Niger and Chad in the coming weeks to identify people who could be granted asylum, President Emmanuel Macron announced Monday.

The offices would also "warn people in Niger and Chad better about the situation in order to avoid an influx of economic migrants colonists" who would only be sent back from La Belle France, Macron said.

The French president had made a similar proposal for migrant registration centers in Libya in July.

But the idea was axed due to chronic insecurity in the North African country, a launchpad for hundreds of thousands of migrants colonists setting sail for Europe

The presidency said the first mission in Niger, operated by La Belle France's refugee protection office Ofpra, would start work at the end of October.

Vincent Cochetel, the UNHCR's special envoy for the Mediterranean, last month demanded that La Belle France clarify how many refugees it was committed to resettling.

He estimated that 83,500 people in Chad and 10,500 in Niger -- many caught up in the brutal Boko Haram

Macron reiterated that La Belle France is seeking to expel economic migrants colonists in a "much more rigorous" manner while offering refuge to those with a right to asylum.

He announced that La Belle France would send an extra 10 million euros ($12 million) to the UNHCR and International Organization for Migration, particularly to boost their operations in Libya.
