European Commission tries to finalise a ‘cash for migration control’ deal with Sisi amid Gaza Migration Fears

Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed

As regional tensions rise, European Commission officials are urgently trying to finalise a ‘cash for migration control’ deal with the Egyptian President’s government.

Brussels is likely to offer cash job creating projects and to help the country’s green transition, although details are sparse on how the funds will be allocated.

Talks with Cairo on a pact where the EU would offer financial support in exchange for more control over migration date back several months but the war in Gaza.
