Chad has coordinated the return of 162 of its citizens from Benghazi in eastern Libya, with assistance from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

A group of 162 Chadian nationals arrived in N’Djamena as part of a voluntary return programme organised from Benghazi. The operation was coordinated by the Chadian government through its consulate general in Benghazi, with support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). This effort is part of ongoing initiatives by Chadian authorities to assist citizens facing difficulties abroad.

The repatriation is accompanied by an awareness campaign targeting the Chadian community. During the operation, consular staff held information sessions for Chadian nationals residing in Benghazi. Discussions covered the legal framework governing foreigners’ stay in Libya and the risks associated with irregular migration. The aim is to better inform members of the Chadian community to reduce vulnerabilities and encourage compliance with local regulations.

Chadian officials present this repatriation as one of several actions taken to protect nationals living outside the country. They indicate that additional support operations may be organised with international partners to address the needs of Chadian citizens abroad.
