Libya: Hundreds of protesters against the presence of migrants in their neighborhoods

Hundreds of Libyans gathered Thursday in Tripoli outside the UNHCR office to protest against the presence of irregular migrants in their neighborhoods, calling for their expulsion. Holding red cards, they chanted 'No to the settlement of migrants and refugees' and 'Libya belongs to Libyans,' while accusing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of seeking to impose migration agreements. The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) denied rumors of UNHCR resettlement programs, condemning 'false information' and 'hate speech.'
