Libyas Flow Monitoring component was launched in July 2016 with the objective of monitoring the flow of foreign nationals throughout the Libyan territory.

Chapter one presents DTMs statistical baseline on the number of foreign nationals at each of Libyas muhalla (lowest administrative level) and an analysis into the characteristics of the locations where migrants are recorded as transiting or gathering in search of employment.

Chapter two presents the statistical findings on both the absolute and estimated number of arrival and departures from across 12 of Libyas 22 regions. This chapter quantifies the absolute and estimated daily observed arrivals and departures, by nationality, area of departure and intended country of destination.

Chapter three provides a regional analysis of Murzuq, Sebha, Misrata, Tobruk, Nalut and Alkufra. This chapter provides greater contextual understanding related to why migrants are transiting through these specific areas and provides greater evidence as to why certain routes are more frequently used over others.

Methodology Update is a final sub-chapter presenting an overview of DTM Libyas Flow Monitoring methodology.

Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday said a team of NATO experts would help the Libyan government build defence and security institutions.

Mr. Stoltenberg made the remarks after meeting with Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

He said NATO was engaged in preparing a programme to help build defence institutions in Libya in 2011, but added that, the security situation made it impossible to continue.

Now we have agreed in a way to restart those efforts. An expert team from NATO met with experts from the government of national accord, in Tunisia, some weeks ago, he said.

The main purpose of the meeting today was to make sure our experts will sit down as soon as possible, Mr. Stoltenberg added.

He noted that NATO experts would address issues such as how to develop a modern ministry of defence, build joint chiefs of staff, and also to develop intelligence services in Libya.

NAN reports that Libya has been in a state of near anarchy since the 2011 uprising that toppled long-time dictator Moamer Gaddafi.

In March 2016, a UN-backed unity government led by Serraj took over in Tripoli amid international hopes it would re-establish stability in the country.

It has been unable to gain recognition from the elected parliament based in the eastern city of Tobruk, which supports army commander Khalifa Haftar, who is aligned with the Tobruk government in the east.

Efforts to reach peace in Libya continue amidst persisting political instability and a deteriorating security situation. Fighting amongst militias continues throughout the country, causing heavy casualties. The UN Mission in Libya continues to document violence and threats by armed groups against civilians attempting to return to their homes.

According to the latest Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) published by the International Organization for Migration (IOM Round 9, March 2017), there are 256,615 internally displaced people (IDPs), 227,866 returnees, and 351,382 migrants in Libya. According to IOM, the number of IDPs identified across the country decreased, with an increase in returnees returning to Sirt. 96 percent of IDPs initially left their homes due to threat or fear of general conflict and armed group presence. Across nearly all municipalities one of the main reported issues affecting IDPs and returnees a like was the increase of food prices.

According to IOM, the main drivers of displacement for IDPs continue to be threat or fear from general conflict and armed group presence (reported for 91 percent of the IDP population).

Civilians in Libya continue to suffer as a result of conflict, insecurity, political instability and a collapsing economy. According to the 2017 Humanitarian Response Plan, 1.3 million people are in need of emergency humanitarian assistance.
