Nalut town deplores Egyptian intervention in Libya – The Libya Observer

The Municipal, Military and Shura Council, in addition to the Union of Civil Society Organizations of Nalut, western Libya, have condemned the constant bombardment of civilians and residential districts by the Egyptian military warplanes and the Egyptian Intelligence Agency violation of Libyan sovereignty.

In a joint statement, they also condemned what they characterized as "complicit actors" with the Egyptian government on the pretext of fighting terrorism.

"We remind those in command of the Dignity Operation that the dignity of Libya has been desecrated by the violation of its territory by the Egyptian and UAE forces," the statement read.

They called on the Presidential Council to take a clear and firm stance towards this aggression, and on all Libyans to reunite and renounce division to defend their state sovereignty.

The statement requested the international community, the United Nations and human rights organizations to halt this blatant aggression and to hold the Egyptian government accountable in accordance with international conventions.

DTM Libya Flow Monitoring Statistical Report #7 (16 April 31 May 2017) – Reliefweb

Libyas Flow Monitoring component was launched in July 2016 with the objective of monitoring the flow of foreign nationals throughout the Libyan territory.

Chapter one presents DTMs statistical baseline on the number of foreign nationals at each of Libyas muhalla (lowest administrative level) and an analysis into the characteristics of the locations where migrants are recorded as transiting or gathering in search of employment.

Chapter two presents the statistical findings on both the absolute and estimated number of arrival and departures from across 12 of Libyas 22 regions. This chapter quantifies the absolute and estimated daily observed arrivals and departures, by nationality, area of departure and intended country of destination.

Chapter three provides a regional analysis of Murzuq, Sebha, Misrata, Tobruk, Nalut and Alkufra. This chapter provides greater contextual understanding related to why migrants are transiting through these specific areas and provides greater evidence as to why certain routes are more frequently used over others.

Methodology Update is a final sub-chapter presenting an overview of DTM Libyas Flow Monitoring methodology.
