The People’s Voice Party of Libya has issued a statement calling for the immediate closure of all “Bayti” centres established by UNICEF in Libya, labelling their activities as “suspicious” and accusing them of promoting the settlement of migrants.
The party also urged the government to launch an investigation into the centres’ operations.
The statement claimed that the “Bayti” centres, which are supported by the European Union and located in cities such as Ajdabiya, Misrata, Derna, and Tripoli, pose a threat to Libya’s demographic composition and national security.
The party asserted that these centres are a tool for resettling unaccompanied minor migrants in Libya as part of a broader international agenda.
According to the statement, some international forces aim to impose migrant settlement solutions on Libya instead of providing genuine support for Libyan children affected by the country’s ongoing crises.
The People’s Voice Party also called for a reassessment of UNICEF’s presence in Libya, questioning the organisation’s intentions.
The party urged authorities to prevent UNICEF from carrying out any programmes related to unaccompanied migrant minors. They argue that the continuation of such activities will worsen the issue of illegal migration, turning Libya into a host country for illegal migrants and further straining the country’s limited resources.
