The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has repatriated 168 Chadian nationals who were stranded in Libya after illegally entering the country.

Thanks to the organization's voluntary repatriation and reintegration assistance programme, these individuals were able to return home, Chadian newspaper Al-Wahda reported on Saturday.

According to the initiative, returnees will also benefit from a two-day training focused on business and project management. The training aims to facilitate their social and economic reintegration in their country of origin.
