Dozens of Chadian migrants have returned home from Libya, in response to the call of President Mahamat Idriss Deby, who launched the “extended hand” policy aimed at facilitating the return of citizens stranded abroad.
The Chadian authorities announced the arrival of 148 migrants in N’Djamena, including women, men and children, some of whom had lived in Libya for more than three decades.
This step comes within the framework of joint cooperation between the Chadian government and the International Organization for Migration of the United Nations, in addition to the Libyan state.
The first flights witnessed the return of 157 Chadians on July 23, and more flights are expected to be organized in the coming weeks.
The Chadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that all arrangements have been made to ensure the safe return of these migrants, noting that the returning migrants will receive logistical and financial support from the Libyan and Chadian governments, and programs will be provided to reintegrate them into Chadian society.
This development came weeks after the Chadian president participated in an international forum on migration in Libya, where an agreement was signed between the Libyan Minister of Interior and his Chadian counterpart to settle the status of Chadian migrants in Libya and determine their identities in cooperation between the two countries.
