Protesters in Tripoli Reject US Migrant Deportation Plans to Libya

Protesters in Tripoli Reject US Migrant Deportation Plans to Libya
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Dozens of Libyans gathered in Martyrs’ Square in central Tripoli on Friday to protest against reports suggesting that the United States may deport migrants to Libya.

The demonstrators raised placards rejecting any attempt to relocate deported migrants from the US to Libyan territory. Protesters described the move as a violation of national sovereignty and a threat to national security, amid growing public outcry.

Chants filled the square, calling on the Libyan Government of National Unity (GNU) to issue an official clarification regarding the alleged plans. Many voiced fears that the reported deportations could destabilise the country and worsen its already fragile security situation.

Protesters also demanded an investigation into what they believe may be secret agreements between foreign entities and Libyan actors to facilitate the transfer of deported migrants. Activists warned that such arrangements could expose Libya to renewed migration pressure and political exploitation.

The protest comes amid widespread controversy fuelled by international media reports claiming that the US government is preparing to send migrants, including some with criminal records, to Libya aboard military aircraft. The reports have triggered condemnation from human rights groups, Libyan officials, and international observers.

No official comment has yet been issued by the GNU regarding these allegations, although several Libyan figures, including army and government representatives, have denied any involvement or agreement with the United States on this matter.

The issue has ignited fierce debate in political circles and on social media, with many Libyans concerned about the potential implications for the country’s security, reputation, and already strained resources.
