The Department for Combating Illegal Migration (DCIM) in Libya’s Southern Region, in partnership with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), has repatriated 163 Nigerian migrants, including women and children.
The group was flown out from Sabha International Airport.
Migrant Rescue Watch announced the operation on Tuesday via its X (formerly Twitter) handle, emphasizing ongoing efforts to manage and mitigate illegal migration in the region.
This repatriation effort is part of a broader strategy to address migration challenges in Libya, which is a key transit point for migrants seeking to reach Europe.
The IOM has been working actively with Libyan authorities to facilitate the safe return of migrants, who often face harsh conditions in detention centers.
