Libya has emerged as the leading country of origin for illegal migrants arriving in Italy, according to a report published by Italy’s Nova News Agency. As of December 30, a total of 30,147 migrants made the perilous journey from Libya to Italy.

The report highlights that these figures account for the majority of migrant arrivals in Italy. Meanwhile, 15,931 migrants arrived from Tunisia, making up 29.57% of the total.

Most of the migrants departing from Libya began their journey from the capital, Tripoli. A smaller percentage, around 3.11% or 939 migrants, embarked from Libya’s eastern region of Cyrenaica (Barqa).

According to the latest report from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), there were 761,322 migrants in Libya between June and July 2024. These migrants are spread across 100 municipalities, highlighting the country’s role as a critical hub for migration in the Mediterranean.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
