Greece toughens stance on illegal migration
Greece is attempting to stop boats crossing from North Africa to the Greek island of Crete amid an ongoing migration crisis. Separately, five European Union countries achieved a breakthrough in efforts to deport migrants across the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, Uganda in East Africa agreed to accept these migrants, although that deal has yet to be signed.
