Libya has expelled aid groups that are accused of ‘African’ population plot
Libyan authorities accuse the aid groups of plotting to change the country’s ethnic make-up by encouraging African migrants to stay there and ordered them to close their offices.
Ten groups have been singled out – including Doctors Without Borders, UN refugee agency and Norwegian Refugee Council.
Internal Security Authority spokesman Salem Gheit said this plan to settle migrants of African origin in their country represents a hostile act.
Gheit says it aims to change demographic composition of the country and threatens the balance of Libyan society.
It echoes a similar announcement made by Tunisia two years ago, which was swiftly condemned as anti-black racism.
