On Sunday, the migrant rescue ship Ocean Viking was attacked by armed men in international waters. The assailants: the Libyan Coast Guard, sponsored by the European Union to police the Mediterranean.

    And where was that ship going to deliver those “rescued migrants”?

    I really find it hard to believe that “Coast Guard” started to shoot at the vessel in the neutral waters.

    This article smells fishy.

      I found the info on this article first, and it did seemed fishy at first, especially with the photo that kinda looks like AI at a glance

      But there is actually a lot of media coverage about it, at least from the main francophone news sources.

      To answer your questions, it seemed the ship was going back to europe after that. One fact that can help explain it all was that, as people from the attacked ship claim, the coast guard are mercenaries and not members of official police force or anything.
