Libya expels Aid Groups accused of ‘African’ Population Plot

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.
