British security agreement with Iraq: Fight against human smuggling!

The British government has signed a groundbreaking security contract with Iraq to combat unscrupulous human retailers and strengthen border cooperation. This is another step in the fight against illegal migration that affects the countries in Europe and beyond. The British Interior Minister Yvette Cooper emphasized the urgency of this cooperation, since the criminal networks that benefit from dangerous boat crossings have far -reaching connections - from northern France to Germany to the Kurdish Region in Iraq.

"The globalized nature of organized human trade requires that even countries that are thousands of kilometers apart work more closely together," said Cooper during her visit to Iraq. The agreement stipulates that London provides up to £ 300,000 (approx. $ 380,000) for the training of Iraqi security forces in the area of border security. The aim is to increase capacity in the fight against organized human trafficking and drug crime.

In addition, the United Kingdom will invest a further 200,000 pounds (approx. $ 254,000) to support projects in the Kurdish region that are intended to improve the skills in dealing with irregular migration and border security. This also includes the establishment of a new task force. Another component of the agreement is a communication campaign that aims to combat the misinformation and myths that are distributed online by human dealers.

Coopers Ministry described the security pact as the largest operational package to combat serious organized crime and human trafficking between the two countries that have ever existed. This step shows the determination of the United Kingdom to smash the international connections of human retailers and to increase security at the limits.
