The war for Tripoli and the pandemic did not trigger an increase in migrant departures from Libya, as southern European states feared, but traffickers continued making money off migration by exploiting people in detention centres.
According to research by the Geneva-based NGO Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime, despite the enormous upheaval and chaos caused by the war, the number of migrants leaving for Europe from Libya remained remarkably constant.
There were 19,500 attempted departures in 2019 and a further 27,000 in 2020, compared to 39,000 in 2018.

To commemorate the eighth centenary of the death of St Dominic, Gozitan artist Manuel Farrugia was commissioned by the Dominicans of Vittoriosa, Malta, to produce an altarpiece depicting The Glory of St Dominic for the altar of St Dominic in the Church of the Annunciation.
The result is a thematically rich painting that incorporates various elements that relate it to the history of this ancient Dominican foundation and the jubilee being commemorated by the order this year.
