The Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah revealed that government revenues from January to May 2024 amounted to more than 43 billion dinars, while public spending exceeded 32 billion dinars.

Exclusive-Migrant expulsions from Tunisia to Libya fuel extortion, abuse -UN briefingBy David LewisNAIROBI (Reuters) – Tunisian border guards have rounded up migrants and passed them to counterparts in Libya where they have faced forced labour, extortion, torture and killing, according to a confidential U.N. human rights briefing seen by Reuters. Tarek Lamloun, a Libyan human rights expert, said such transfers had taken place as recently as early May. “Collective expulsions from Tunisia to Libya and the associated arbitrary detention of migrants are fuelling extortion rackets and cycles of abuse, which are already widespread human rights issues in Libya,” the U.N. briefing said. Libyan officials were demanding thousands of dollars in exchange for releasing some migrants, according to the briefing. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on June 4 the decline was “above all” due to help from Tunisia and Libya.

However, adds Al Atiya, "there is a concern about the possible spread of infectious diseases such as polio, which was eradicated in Libya in the 1990s". The IOM estimates that around 130.000 Sudanese are currently in Libya, of which around 30 arrived after the start of the conflict in Sudan. The majority of Sudanese migrants interviewed by aid agencies reported arriving directly from Sudan (88 percent), with a minority passing through Chad (9 percent) or Egypt (2 percent). Currently there is no real control of the borders between Libya, Sudan, Chad and Niger, nor a security body that really monitors the situation. Not only that: there are indications that some Libyan security agencies are allowing migrants to pass towards northern Libya, upon payment.
