EU hails Niger as 'model' of migration control
By EUobserver
Niger is a "model" of EU cooperation with African states on migration, foreign relations chief Federica Mogherini said before a meeting with Niger's president Mahamadou Issoufou. Niger reduced the number of people seeking to go to the EU from 70,000 to 1,500 in return for EU financial aid, she said. NGOs say the scheme overlooks people's rights.
