Libyan citizens detained in Niger have been released following efforts led by the Foreign Ministry of the Libyan Parliament-designate government.
The Libyan Foreign ministry announced the successful release of the Libyan nationals who were held by authorities in Niger.
The ministry expressed its gratitude to Niger for its cooperation in facilitating the release of the detained citizens and acknowledged the collaborative efforts between the two nations.
It also congratulated the Libyan youths—Abdulrahman Masoud Ali, Ismail Salem Mohammed, and Mohammed Abdul-Salam Al-Mahdi—on their release.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to serving Libyan citizens, both domestically and abroad, emphasizing that protecting its nationals is a key responsibility of the Libyan government and its institutions.
In another context, South Africa has decided to deport 95 Libyan nationals who were arrested at a suspected illegal military camp in Mpumalanga, according to EWN news.
This follows the withdrawal of charges by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), which had initially accused the group of violating the Immigration Act.
The Libyans were detained in July after a police raid on a farm in White River uncovered military tents, training equipment, firearms, dagga, and cocaine.
