Libyan authorities announced on Wednesday a decision to suspend the work of 10 international humanitarian groups, accusing the NGOs of a plan to "settle migrants" from other parts of Africa in the country.

"The plan to settle migrants of African origin in Libya is seen as a hostile act, which is aimed at altering the demographic composition of the country and threatens Libyan society," said Salem Gheith, spokesman for the North African country's Internal Security Agency.
