The Senior Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Foreign Affairs and the Diaspora, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa says the Nigerian government is executing mass evacuation abroad, particularly in Libya where many Nigerians still languish in deplorable conditions.

This is to check the worrisome consequence of illegal migration which is the subsequent mistreatment and abuse of Nigerians in various countries abroad once identified as undocumented.

Hardship and struggle is the experience of many in the cavity of Nigerias economic recession, but for some, it started a journey of unraveling.

Desperate for survival, many head for unknown destinations through unknown routes only to find conditions worse at the destination than conditions burdening at the origin, if the destination is ever seen at all.

The presidential adviser acknowledged this challenge but urged Nigerians to weather the storm at home where they are welcome.

She said that the current cash crunch does not shake the commitment of the federal government to prioritize the welfare of its people both home and abroad.

Officials from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) say 669 Nigerians were evacuated from Libya on chartered aircraft in 2016 alone by the federal government in rescue missions.

The Head Of Search and Rescue at NEMA, Bandele Onimode, made this disclosure, adding also that more operations are expected in the coming weeks.

The increasing rate of illegal outflows of migrants from Nigeria into various countries in northern Africa and Europe has become an issue of concern to all countries involved as the global community aims to check illegal migration around the world.

- The Nigerian government has warned citizens of the country against embarking on a trip to troubled Libya henceforth

- The warning came from the office of the senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on foreign affairs and diaspora

Nigerians have been warned against going to Libya for now following the purported killing of black immigrants in the country.

Some alleged black captives held in Libya

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the warning is coming from the office of Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on foreign affairs and diaspora.

There have been recent reports of killing of black immigrants in the troubled country and Mrs Dabiri-Erewa said even though the stories have not been clearly verified, they call for Nigerians to avoid the country since Libya had been known for killing alleged illegal immigrants.

I hereby appeal again to Nigerian migrants to avoid Libya as penalty for illegal migration to Libya, when caught, is usually a death sentence.

As the chairman committee on diaspora in the House of Representatives in the seventh Assembly, we intervened in the case of 24 Nigerians about to be killed in Libya.

The committee, in collaboration with SERAP, an NGO, petitioned the UN, AU, ECOWAS, and Ghadaffi yielded to pressure and released them.

As at two months ago, NEMA alongside, the Nigerian embassy in Libya evacuated over 2000 Nigerians from Libya.

The Nigerian embassy in Libya, working with NEMA has relentlessly intervened in cases involving Nigerians in trouble in Libya and will continue to do so.

Avoid Libya or get killed - Presidency warns Nigerians - NAIJ.COM

What snapshot best captures the insanity of Americas approach to the Middle East? The most obvious answer is the war in Iraqa country in which were still bogged down almost fourteen years after overthrowing Saddam Hussein. Another is the Syrian Civil War, where many factions are running around with American-supplied weaponsincluding the former Al Qaeda franchise and Hezbollah.

But for my money, our Mideast folly is best illustrated by the regions next-door neighbor, Libya. In that country, a civil war is deepening between an American-backed government and a previously American-backed general. The former is the United Nationsendorsed Government of National Accord (GNA), which was sealifted over from Tunisia last spring. The interim government has since failed to exert control over even the capital city of Tripoli. The latter is Khalifa Haftar, a prior ally of Muammar el-Qaddafi, who later defected and engineered several failed attempts at toppling the regime while living in Virginia. The GNA is dismissed by many in Libya as a Western puppet, while Haftar is rumored to be a CIA agent. Additionally, innuendos widely persist that the United States created ISISa shared enemy of GNA and Haftar.

So our battle for hearts and minds continues apace.

Haftar and the government he backs, known as the House of Representatives (HOR), are based in the eastern Libyan city of Tobruk. The citys persistence against Axis attacks during World War II rattled confidence in famed German officer Erwin Rommel. Today, its the West that Tobruk is vexing. The HORs refusal to endorse the GNA and the continuing quarrels between the two governments are thwarting diplomatic attempts at unification. The two sides briefly set aside their differences to expel ISIS from the city of Sirte late last year, but even then there was jostling. Since then, tensions have escalated once again. Both governments derive their military power from factionalized fighters, particularly the GNA, which is reliant on powerful militias from the city of Misrata. Libya became fractured after el-Qaddafi was deposed. It is now a game of militias and it is those militias that will ultimately decide its political fate.

Prior to 1963, Libya was split into three provinces: Tripolitania (home of the modern-day GNA), Cyrenaica (home of the modern-day HOR) and Fezzan. At that point, the country was feebly governed by King Idris of Libya. Tribal and provincial identities ran strong and often superseded any national allegiance. Hoping to forge a more singular Libya, the king eventually abolished the provinces. After Idris was overthrown in 1969, el-Qaddafi followed with a ruthless program of nationalization, which produced the country that we know today. Its a cruel admission, but el-Qaddafi created modern Libya, and without his adhesive regime it has predictably disintegrated. Thus, the United States made the same blunder in Libya that it made in Iraq. It failed to comprehend that the object was an artificial nation and did not bother to study the myriad divisions that crisscrossed beneath the surface. By trying to supplant a dictatorship with a national democracy, the United States only created chaos.

The best that can be said about Libya today is that its civil war is not as bloody as the one in Syria. Still, an ominous similarity between the two conflicts is taking shape. Russia, which has long reinforced Bashar al-Assads regime in Damascus, has gotten involved in Libya by backing the HOR. Recently, Haftar was feted aboard the Admiral Kuznetsov, Moscows lone aircraft carrier. It was there that he inked an agreement with the Russians. Vladimir Putin is hoping to score public-relations victories both ideologically and militarily: first, by supporting strongman Haftar while the Western-linked and putatively democratic GNA flounders, and second, by continuing to appear a scourge of terrorism (Haftar despises Islamism and has been instrumental in fumigating Benghazi of jihadists). Libya will further Russias goal of bolstering its presence in the Mediterranean. The agreement Russia signed with Haftar permits the country to build two new bases in eastern Libya.
