The Eastern Libya’s security forces have detained 75 irregular migrants following a high-speed chase near the Al-Uwainat region, close to the Sudanese border.
According to the Department of Relations and Cooperation in eastern Libya, several other migrants managed to escape into Sudan.
The operation was initiated after receiving intelligence about vehicles transporting migrants attempting to enter Libya through Al-Uwainat.
In response, Major General Salah Mahmoud Al-Khafifi, head of the Anti-Illegal Migration Agency, deployed desert patrol units to intercept the vehicles, coordinating with the Southeast Security Operations Room. After a three-hour pursuit, authorities apprehended three vehicles carrying 75 migrants. However, additional vehicles fled across the border into Sudan. The exact number of escapees remains unclear.
