Mohamed Daood was flown from detention in Libya to safety in Rwanda by UNHCR. Coming to terms with the fact that he was safe, he called home and reassured relatives who had feared the worst.
Mohamed Daood Ali, a refugee from Sudan’s Darfur region, had not spoken to his mother in the two years he was held in a detention center in Libya. He left Darfur and travelled to Libya in the hopes of crossing the Mediterranean to Europe but never made it out.
Mohamed is one of hundreds of refugees to land in Rwanda from Libya since September on evacuation flights organized by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. The agency assisted more than 2,000 refugees and asylum seekers to leave Libya in 2019.
Phone calls like Mohamed’s delight worried family members who fear their loved ones may have perished. They can also bring mixed emotions.
Mohamed was a student when he fled conflict in Darfur, western Sudan. His family put together the little money they had to send him on a journey that would take him to Egypt and onwards to Libya.
People entering or trying to leave Libya without valid documentation are often at risk of being arrested and detained. Mohamed was hoping to try to cross the Mediterranean by boat but was arrested on his journey through the Libyan capital of Tripoli.
Around 2,500 refugees and asylum seekers are held in detention centers in Libya, according to UNHCR. Some 306 have been evacuated to Rwanda under a deal between its government, UNHCR and the African Union~UNHCR
