This Time Constraints Deport citizens in Libya

A total of five of the 19 Indonesians who were still in Tripoli, Libya, decided to return home after Eid al-Fitr later. However, their return trip to the homeland is not without obstacles.

Indonesian Ambassador to Tunisia, Muhammad Ibn Said, said one problem is that he did not know the exact location where the residence of the employer's workers live. For that, he relied on Muhammad, Libyans who worked at the Embassy in Tripoli, to pick up the workers.

"In Libya there is no home address and street name, just rely on benchmark. For example, next to the mosque or the other. Only certain people who can reach the place," said Said to VIVAnews, Tuesday, August 23, 2011.

Tripoli itself was empty, because the entire staff of Indonesia have been evacuated to the ground water. Said Said Muhammad, who will pick up or transport the migrants to the border between Libya and Tunisia.

Once picked, the migrants will be delivered using a taxi to the border. It's also not easy. Said said due to the exodus of many of Libya, the fueling stations mostly closed, making the fuel is scarce.

"To buy the fuel had to queue 1-3 weeks. And we have to travel approximately 160 km for 4 hours. In addition, we also have to make sure it was safe to travel by land," said Said.

After arriving at the border, says Said, Tunis him and Embassy staff will be there to facilitate all the needs of the workers. Including overcoming the problems that may arise. "Sometimes they lost passports, no visas punga, or overstayer. We work with immigration officers Tunisia to overcome this," said Said.

Does not end there, the distance from the border to the capital of Tunisia is still far away. According to Said, the distance is about 580 miles by road for seven hours. Here, again there are obstacles.

"The people of Tunisia is still in the euphoria of democracy. When night fell, residents sometimes close the road to ask for in return. Therefore, we always traveled in the daytime," said Said.

After arriving at the Embassy in Tunis, the workers attempted to return immediately to their homeland. According to the foreign ministry, to date, has more than 900 citizens who have been repatriated to their homeland through Egypt, Libya and Tunisia.
