- Published on Mar 14, 2026
- Zuwara, Libya’s Amazigh city, has long been a transit point for migrants to Europe. Local activists cite pressure on services and crime, and have pushed a legal campaign urging landlords to stop renting to undocumented migrants, emptying an old city that once housed about 20,000, now being turned into a cultural centre.

Open borders is what I see.I hear Italy is opening same soon.
Send them to the UK. We welcome all non white peoples
Haha I am not from libia or africa but you should remember the colonial past 😂 Australia, Nuziland , Canada and America where natives have become minority now 😂
Unfortunately they drown on the way to Europe, if they cross they are de materialized by the border guards. If they survive, they are mistreated by the humans until their deportation. It is a normal thing.
Send them to hamas supporting state UAE.
😂 UAE is an ally of Israel 😂
You are so stupid
