A group of 162 Chadian nationals arrived in N’Djamena after departing from Benghazi, Libya, as part of a government-led voluntary return initiative. The operation was coordinated by Chadian authorities through the country’s consulate in Benghazi, with full backing from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
This repatriation effort forms part of a broader strategy by Chadian officials to assist citizens facing challenges abroad. In conjunction with the return program, consular teams conducted awareness sessions for Chadian residents in Benghazi, covering Libya’s foreign residency laws and the dangers of irregular migration pathways. The goal is to provide clearer guidance to the community, reduce vulnerability, and encourage compliance with local regulations.
Chadian authorities emphasized that this repatriation reflects their commitment to protecting citizens living overseas. They noted that additional support operations could be arranged in collaboration with international partners to address the needs of Chadians abroad.
