CAIRO – Libyan authorities rounded up thousands of mostly Egyptian migrants and amassed them at the border, activists said Saturday, as Libya continued its crackdown on migrants. Oil-rich Libya has been ruled for most of the past decade by rival governments in eastern and western Libya, each backed by an array of militias and foreign governments. A spokesman for the forces of military commander Khalifa Hifter, which control eastern Libya, did not answer phone calls and messages seeking comment. “The area is not equipped (to host detained migrants). " The campaign in eastern Libya comes as raids continue in the country’s western cities on migrants following clashes between Nigerien and Sudanese migrants in the town of Zuwara.
