A war general will stop Albanians from crossing by raft to Great Britain
General Stuart Skeates

A senior British general, who served in Afghanistan and the Gulf war, has been appointed to prevent the flow of Albanian migrants heading to Britain through the English Channel from the French coast.

"Daily Mail" reports that Lieutenant General Stuart Skeates, who also served in the Bosnian war, has been hired as a special coordinator for the illegal migration of Albanians.

He previously worked as an adviser to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, preventing vulnerable people from being "exploited by human traffickers" and "protecting the UK's borders".

The general has been recruited to tackle the growing problem of illegal Albanian immigration through the English Channel.

Since the start of the year, more than 37,000 migrants have reached British soil - at least 10,000 are believed to be from Albania.

The number of Albanians arriving across the Channel increased at the beginning of the summer and now they make up about 60 percent of the arrivals from northern France.

Skeates is expected to work with the Albanian government to help combat trafficking gangs after the increase.

Former Home Secretary Priti Patel Patel signed an agreement with the Albanian government to expedite deportations to the Balkan state and for Albanian police officers to be stationed in Dover.

Earlier this month, 12 migrants were flown back to Albania within days of arriving in Britain on dinghies.

The government has tried to introduce policies for Albanian nationals who cross the Channel to return to Albania - in an attempt to discourage more from travelling.

Before the summer, around nine out of ten Albanians sought asylum - even though there has been no conflict there for more than 25 years.

Lieutenant-General Skeates began advising Cabinet Office ministers on tackling human trafficking after Steve Barclay was asked by Boris Johnson to chair a cross-government review of the Channel migrant crisis in 2021.

However, since then an increasing rate of migrants have been making the crossing – with a record 1,295 people making the crossing on 27 boats on 22 August.
