The African continent, endowed with substantial potential due to its rich natural resources and vibrant youth demographic, concurrently confronts significant structural challenges stemming from security issues and large-scale migration movements. Armed conflicts, terrorist activities, and persistent political instability have led to the displacement of millions, while these extensive migration flows further complicate existing security dynamics and introduce new threats. This study examines the interdependent relationship between security challenges and African migration phenomena. In this context, post-2011 Libya is utilized as a case study. Following the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, the nation entered a phase characterized by political instability, armed conflict, and the erosion of central governance. This power vacuum has rendered Libya a pivotal transit point along irregular migration routes from Sub-Saharan Africa to Europe. Consequently, this study explores how Libya's security issues cause regional instability and how migration pressures exacerbate the precarious security environment.
