Forecast Bullets
- Managing migrant flows along the central Mediterranean routes will require cooperating with multiple Central and North African governments, impeding progress in building comprehensive migrant agreements.
- Egypt will hasten to address the increased flow from its shores as more young Egyptians join the migration to Europe.
- Libya's coast will remain insecure as long as its government is unstable.
