Tunisia and Libya announced on Thursday an agreement to share responsibility for providing shelter for hundreds of migrants stranded at their border. African migrants protest on the Libyan border with Tunisia on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2023. Under the agreement, Libya will take in the remaining 150-200 migrants, humanitarian sources said. The Libyan interior ministry earlier on Thursday announced the bilateral agreement to "put an end to the crisis of irregular migrants stranded in the border area". In a later statement, it said there were no more migrants stranded at the border following the agreement, adding that joint patrols were being organised to "secure the border".
