Libya’s Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency has carried out large-scale security operations across Benghazi to clear out informal settlements and apprehend undocumented migrants.

According to an official statement, the campaign targeted several areas, including Al-Kuwifiya, Tariq Al-Nahr, Bouatni, Bouhdima, and Al-Qawarsha.

During the raids, authorities detained 159 undocumented migrants of various nationalities.

The Agency confirmed that these operations will continue daily without exception. It also announced that all detained individuals, especially those with health issues, will be deported within one week in accordance with the country’s legal procedures.

This latest crackdown is part of a broader effort by Libyan authorities to manage irregular migration and maintain public order within major urban centers.

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.
