The islamist government of Libya wants recognition or it will send "hundreds of thousands" of "refugees" to Europe.
 
Source? (I am legitimately interested in hearing about this.)
 
The blackmail won't work. Merkel will give them a few billions and tell the Libyans to send them over anyway.

It's not the Libyan government but the breakaways surely have the means to do it.

Before you get some hydrophobic stormfront crap shoved at you.

Libya warns it could flood Europe with migrants if EU does not recognise new self-declared government - Telegraph

Whether they actually will still remains undecided though.

My initial reaction is trusting the basis for the threat, that the "National Salvation Government is (or was) spending tens of millions of pounds a year stopping migrants from crossing the Mediterranean, through the use of detention centres and repatriation programs."

Anyone else sure we should be buying that before we evaluate how quickly the EU will fold at the threat?

That's actually true. Kind of. They probably got tens of millions for that, but how much they actually spent on those (very real) detention centers and repatriation programs is a different matter.

I'm pretty sure nobody is going to buy it. It's about recognition and gaining it by attempted bullying coupled with silly claims.

The Libyan refugee tide was never controlled by this lot. Libyan as in African.
