162 Chadians voluntarily return from Libya to N’Djamena with IOM support

Chad has successfully repatriated 162 of its citizens from Benghazi in eastern Libya through a coordinated voluntary return program, conducted with the assistance of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The operation, managed by Chadian consular authorities, included awareness campaigns to educate the Chadian diaspora about the legal requirements for staying in Libya and the hazards of irregular migration pathways.

A group of 162 Chadian nationals arrived in N’Djamena after departing Benghazi in eastern Libya, completing a voluntary repatriation initiative backed by the Chadian government and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The mission included targeted awareness sessions to inform migrants about Libya’s residency regulations and the severe risks tied to unauthorized migration routes.

The voluntary return program, coordinated by Chadian consular offices in Benghazi and supported by IOM, reflects the government’s ongoing efforts to protect its citizens abroad. This initiative follows a series of structured discussions with the Chadian community in Benghazi, focusing on legal stay conditions and the dangers of irregular migration. By reinforcing compliance with local laws and discouraging unsafe travel, authorities aim to reduce the vulnerabilities faced by Chadians living overseas.

Chadian officials emphasized that this repatriation marks one of many planned measures to assist nationals facing challenges abroad. They confirmed additional support operations may be launched in partnership with international bodies to ensure the well-being of Chadians residing outside the country.
