On Sunday, the Libyan Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency, Al-Tamimi branch, announced the deportation of 95 migrants to both Egypt and Pakistan.
According to the media office of the Agency, 20 Pakistani migrants were handed over to the Qanfouda Shelter Centre for deportation via Benghazi International Airport.
Additionally, 75 Egyptian migrants were deported through the Imssaed land border crossing.
The operation was carried out in accordance with the directives of the agency’s Chief, Brigadier Nouri Al-Saadi, to combat and eliminate the phenomenon of irregular migration, as stated in the statement.
Last month, the Libyan Interior Ministry’s Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency repatriated 350 Egyptian migrants who had unlawfully entered Libya. Colonel Haitham Ammar, the Spokesperson for the agency, announced the initiation of this repatriation process, indicating that this is part of a series of deportation operations planned for the near future.
During a press briefing at the agency’s headquarters, Colonel Ammar shed light on Libya’s rigorous efforts to control the influx of irregular migrants. He revealed that in the year 2023 alone, Libya has managed to repatriate a total of 23,361 migrants back to their home countries, with the majority being from Nigeria. These migrants encompass a diverse array of nationalities from across Africa and Asia, attracted by Libya’s extensive and often unguarded borders.
