Libya Tebu National Day Raises Tensions
Tribal tensions in the city of Al Kufra in southeastern Libya trace back to disputes between the tribes of "Zway" and "Tebu." These tensions have resurfaced recently due to the organization of the "Tebu National Culture Day" in the city, which included participation by a Tebu activist. This event provoked protests from the Zway tribe and comments from tribal leaders, including criticisms of the decision to approve housing plans and the settlement of non-Libyans—especially those coming from Chad and Niger—adding to the rising tensions. Reports indicate that these conflicts have been accumulating since 2011, due to the weakened presence of the state, ongoing unresolved disputes from a deadly armed conflict more than 11 years ago, and reflect the sensitive nature of the area amid its mixed demographics and the security and political challenges faced by the region.
