A significant group of 162 Chadian nationals has successfully returned to N’Djamena, arriving from Benghazi in eastern Libya. This vital repatriation effort received crucial backing from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and was meticulously managed by Chadian consular officials. Alongside the return, an important awareness campaign was conducted, aiming to educate the Chadian community about legal residency requirements in Libya and the inherent dangers associated with irregular migration routes.

The voluntary return initiative saw these 162 Chadians arrive safely in their home capital, N’Djamena, following their departure from Benghazi. The Chadian government spearheaded this complex operation through its Consulate General in Benghazi, ensuring smooth coordination with the IOM. This effort underscores the ongoing commitment of Chadian authorities to provide essential assistance to their citizens facing challenging circumstances while residing abroad.

During the course of this repatriation, Chadian consular services actively engaged with the Chadian community in Benghazi, conducting vital information sessions. These discussions focused on the regulatory framework governing foreign residency in Libya, alongside a clear explanation of the inherent dangers linked to irregular migration. The primary goal was to empower Chadian community members with accurate knowledge, thereby reducing their vulnerability and encouraging adherence to legal immigration processes. This repatriation stands as a testament to the Chadian authorities’ dedication to protecting their nationals living beyond the country’s borders. Officials have also indicated that further support operations are anticipated, to be organized with the crucial backing of international partners, ensuring continued assistance for Chadian citizens residing overseas.
