il existe de nombreuses informations provenant de diverses sources fiables, notamment d'enquêtes criminelles, décrivant Ermias Alem comme l'un des plus importants acteurs originaires d'Afrique subsaharienne impliqués dans le trafic illicite de migrants en Libye. Ermias Alem est un dirigeant d'un réseau transnational responsable de la traite d'êtres humains et du trafic de dizaines de milliers de migrants, principalement depuis la Corne de l'Afrique jusqu'aux côtes libyennes puis jusqu'à leur destination en Europe et aux États-Unis. Il est entouré d'hommes armés et dispose d'entrepôts et de camps de détention où de graves violations des droits de l'homme seraient commises contre des migrants. Il travaille en étroite collaboration avec des réseaux de trafiquants libyens, comme celui de Mustafa dont il serait la “chaîne orientale d'approvisionnement”. Son réseau s'étend du Soudan aux côtes de la Libye et jusqu'en Europe (Italie, France, Allemagne, Pays-Bas, Suède, Royaume-Uni) et aux États-Unis. Dans les camps de détention privés qu'Alem contrôle sur la côte nord-ouest de la Libye, les migrants détenus sont victimes de graves exactions. Depuis ces camps, ils sont emmenés à Sabrata ou Zaouïa. Ces dernières années, Alem a organisé un nombre incalculable de voyages périlleux par la mer, mettant les migrants (y compris de nombreux mineurs) en danger de mort. En 2015, les autorités judiciaires de Palerme (Italie) ont émis des mandats d'arrêt contre Ermias Alem pour trafic de milliers de migrants dans des conditions inhumaines, y compris pour le naufrage survenu près de Lampedusa, le 13/10/ 2013, dans lequel 266 personnes ont péri
