Italy deports asylum-seekers to Albania for processing, aiming to manage migrant crisis.
Italy has initiated a policy to deport asylum-seekers to Albania for processing, responding to the ongoing migrant crisis. The first group, mainly from Bangladesh and Egypt, was returned to Italy shortly after arrival due to safety concerns. Italy's government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, aims to house more migrants in an old air base in Albania, but this move raises local economic and ethical concerns. The long-term success of this partnership remains uncertain.
