Djibouti authorities deported several undocumented migrants after a security sweep in the capital, the state news agency ADI reported on Friday, April 25, 2026.
The operation, carried out early Tuesday morning in District 7, led to the detention of individuals without valid documentation. The exact number of deportees was not specified in the initial report.
Djibouti, a key transit point for migrants from the Horn of Africa seeking to reach the Arabian Peninsula, has periodically conducted such sweeps. The country hosts thousands of migrants, many en route to Yemen and beyond.
Authorities have not provided further details on the nationalities of those deported or their destinations. The move aligns with Djibouti's efforts to manage irregular migration flows.
