Lest we forget of course the cards we played in places such as Libya and Syria that led people to leave in the first place

How many more times. THEY ARE NOT FLEEING LIBYA. They are actually going INTO Libya.
Libya is just a convenient access point to southern Italy, just as Calais is a convenient access point to the UK. Look at those trying to get on the lorries. Not many(if any) Syrians there.

The spider's web is at its most complex here. Some of these journeys are epic, with sub-Saharan and West African migrants crossing two perilous seas, one of sand and one of water, before arriving in Europe.
These journeys can take weeks or years to complete, with young men from Gambia, Senegal and Nigeria passing through several countries and relying heavily on people smugglers.
Among the largest groups crossing from Libya this year: thousands of Eritreans fleeing long-term conscription, as well as large numbers of Somalis and Nigerians.
In the eastern Mediterranean, huge numbers of Syrians cross from Turkey to Greece, accompanied by Afghans and Iraqis.
