Libyan movement mobilizes against migrant settlement and naturalization

The "No to Settlement and No to Naturalisation. Libya for Libyans" movement is organizing Libyans nationwide to oppose the perceived settlement, resettlement, or naturalization of undocumented migrants and refugees. Describing itself as a popular, peaceful, and patriotic movement, it aims to unite various segments of Libyan society to preserve national sovereignty, which it claims is threatened by illegal immigration and other challenges. The movement emphasizes that it is a collective voice of the people, not attributed to any single leader, and seeks to protect the homeland and its sovereignty. It states it does not have hidden agendas and is supported by the Libyan people. The movement highlights marginalized issues such as food security, pharmaceutical security, human security, unemployment, the housing crisis, demographic and religious changes, and population growth due to migrant influx. It also aims to generate media, political, and legal pressure for serious resolutions to these issues, bringing them to national attention. The movement asserts that sovereignty is a red line, and Libya is exclusively for Libyans, rejecting settlement and naturalization. The Tripoli-based Libyan government has also reaffirmed its rejection of the settlement of undocumented refugees or migrants.
