Libya has revealed plans to deport over 250 sub-Saharan migrants residing in Libya back to their respective home nations.

The migrants numbering about 271 hail from countries Chad, Niger, Eritrea, Ghana, Sudan and Nigeria.

Libyan news agency LANA said that most of these migrants go to Libya to avoid the horrible life they live in their home nation.

They say these migrants risk the terrible journey across the Desert to head to Libya and find work there.

Meanwhile western nations are worried that Islamist militants might exploit Libya's condition and smuggle weapons and fighters via its borders
