103 Egyptian Migrants Deported from Libya
In an official statement, the agency confirmed that the deportation followed the completion of all legal procedures. It noted that deportation operations are being carried out daily with a high level of discipline and preparedness.
This action comes under the direct instructions of the Agency's Director-General, Major General Salah Mahmoud Al-Khafaifi, who called for intensified efforts by all branches to curb illegal migration and enhance security and stability within Libyan cities and along the borders.
The statement added that Major General Ibrahim Larabed, head of the agency's branch in Al-Butnan, personally supervised the execution of the latest deportation operation on the ground.
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.
