Libyan authorities Tuesday prepared to deport 248 undocumented migrants, an official said, to their home countries Niger and Chad in a joint effort by rival administrations in the war-torn country.

An official with Tripoli’s government agency against clandestine migration said 120 Nigeriens had left Libya for Niamey in coordination with the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM).

And in coordination with Libya’s eastern-based authorities, 128 migrants would be taken to the border with Chad, said the official.
