Exactly 162 Tchadian citizens landed in N’Djamena after departing from Benghazi, eastern Libya, as part of a voluntary return initiative led by the Chadian government and supported by the International Organization for Migration. Alongside the repatriation, awareness sessions were conducted to clarify Libyan residency laws and highlight the perils of irregular migration routes.

This repatriation effort marked the culmination of a carefully coordinated operation involving the Chadian consulate in Benghazi and IOM resources. The initiative is part of a broader strategy by Chadian authorities to safeguard nationals facing challenges abroad. Government representatives emphasized that this action underscores their commitment to protecting citizens beyond national borders.

Awareness sessions for the Tchadian community

During the repatriation process, consular staff held information sessions for Tchadian residents in Benghazi. Discussions covered Libyan immigration regulations and the risks tied to unauthorized travel. The goal was to equip community members with accurate knowledge to avoid exploitation and navigate legal pathways. Authorities noted that this repatriation reflects ongoing efforts to support Tchadians abroad, with further assistance programs expected in collaboration with international partners.
