145 Irregular Egyptian Migrants Returned from Libya
On Saturday, Libya's Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency in Greater Benghazi announced the transfer of 145 undocumented Egyptian nationals to its branch office in Tobruk. The move is part of preparations for their repatriation via the Umm Saad border crossing.
This operation is part of a wider national effort to manage irregular migration and ensure that repatriation is conducted in accordance with Libyan legal and administrative procedures.
The agency confirmed that the transfer was carried out in coordination with other security and regulatory bodies, as mandated by national policy.
In a statement, the Greater Benghazi branch emphasized that the move follows instructions from the agency's leadership and forms part of a broader strategic plan to curb illegal immigration. The effort, according to the agency, aims not only to manage population flows but also to reinforce internal security and uphold state sovereignty.
Libya continues to serve as both a transit and destination country for migrants, many of whom enter the country through irregular routes in hopes of reaching Europe. The Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency, operating under increasing pressure to control these movements, has stepped up its activities in recent months, including arrests, rescues, and repatriation procedures.
The agency also reiterated its commitment to working with local and international partners to improve migration governance, reduce human trafficking, and support stability in Libya's border regions. Tags: benghaziEgyptlibyamigrantstobruk

Libya's Interior Ministry Reports Armed Attack on Security Forces in Tripoli
On Saturday, the Ministry of Interior under Libya's outgoing Government of National Unity confirmed that security forces were targeted in an armed assault in the Jannat Al-Areef area of Tripoli. According to an official statement, the ministry said that the attack was carried out by a group described as 'infiltrators,' who also used fireworks to incite chaos and damage public property. The ministry condemned the incident, labeling it a criminal act aimed at undermining public order and destabilizing the capital during a period of heightened political tension. It stated that all necessary efforts will be made to apprehend those responsible and ensure they are prosecuted under the law. Authorities reported that no civilians were harmed during the attack, but the ministry stressed the seriousness of the offense, given that it targeted state personnel and attempted to provoke disorder in a public area. In the same statement, the Interior Ministry reaffirmed its full commitment to protecting the right to peaceful protest. Officials emphasized that demonstrations remain a legitimate right guaranteed by Libyan law, provided they are carried out in accordance with legal procedures and in a manner that respects public safety and order. The ministry also announced the launch of an active investigation and confirmed that it is pursuing the individuals involved in the incident, describing the response as firm and comprehensive. This latest development comes amid a series of public demonstrations in Tripoli and other cities, where protesters have voiced growing frustration over deteriorating services, political deadlock, and ongoing security concerns. While most protests have remained peaceful, recent weeks have seen a rise in isolated incidents of violence and unrest. The ministry concluded by calling on all citizens to cooperate with law enforcement and avoid participating in actions that could endanger public safety or derail the country's path toward stability.
