Libya reverts 687 migrants to four African nations
The efforts of the International Organization for Migration resulted in the return of 687 irregular migrants from Libya to their home countries between June 12 and 22. These migrants were repatriated to Mali, Nigeria, Gambia, and Chad through medical support and protection operations in coordination with European authorities. Additionally, voluntary return operations have been strengthened since 2015, with over 100,000 migrants having returned so far, amid increased raids in migrant neighborhoods in Libya and exploitation by traffickers exploiting the unstable situation following Gaddafi's fall. The number of migrants in Libya exceeds 800,000, most of whom are from sub-Saharan Africa. Many face risks, including assaults, arbitrary detention, and a rising death rate in the Mediterranean Sea.
