It said migrants will receive reintegration support back home. On 24 March, IOM facilitated the voluntary humanitarian return of 147 Somali migrants from Tripoli and Sebha to Hargeisa and Mogadishu.

On 29 March, the Sudanese embassy in Libya announced the start of an initial registration process for Sudanese citizens wishing to return to their country, in light of the Sudanese army making gains to retake the capital Khartoum. It expressed optimism about the restoration of security and stability in Sudan, praising the victories achieved by the armed forces and their allied units, reinforcing hopes for improving conditions and creating a safe environment for citizens to return home. The increase in the numbers of Sudanese refugees in Libya since the Sudanese war began two years ago has been a trigger for the recent uptick in anti-migrant, anti-African hate, rhetoric and violence.
