The objective of the trip seems to be to obtain the release of the crews of the two Mazara del Vallo fishing boats, detained for more than 100 days.
In Benghazi, the stronghold of General Khalifa el-Haftar, the crews of two Italian fishing boats from Mazara del Vallo have been detained since the beginning of September: 18 people, including 8 Italians, 6 Tunisians, 2 Indonesians and 2 Senegalese. In recent weeks, the fishermen’s families had stayed for days in front of the Chamber of Deputies to demand the release of the men. Conte and Di Maio had received a delegation.
