Scores Of Corpses Found In Libya After Clashes

Background

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

TRIPOLI (Worthy News) – Scores of unidentified corpses have been discovered in a hospital in Libya’s capital after the fiercest clashes Tripoli had seen in years between two armed groups.

At least 58 human remains were found in a morgue refrigerator in Abu Salim Accidents Hospital in the densely populated Abu Salim neighbourhood, following a report from the hospital, the interior ministry announced Tuesday.

Pictures of corpses with numbers and censored faces were posted by the ministry, showing remains in various states of decomposition on steel carriers and beds.

Some of the remains were burnt. An investigation was underway to establish the identities of the deceased.

“So far, 23 corpses have been examined, and all necessary legal procedures have been taken, including documenting data and collecting samples,” the ministry said.

The ministry confirmed that 23 bodies have been examined so far, and legal procedures have been initiated, including data documentation and the collection of biological samples.

This is the second such discovery within days. On Saturday, authorities announced that they found nine unidentified bodies at the morgue of Al-Khadra Hospital, also located in Abu Selim.

SSA STRONGHOLD

That area was a stronghold of the Stability Support Apparatus (SSA) militia, whose chief, Abdulghani Kikli, widely known as Ghaniwa, was recently killed.

Kikli’s killing last week led to the sudden defeat of the SSA by factions aligned to internationally recognised Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah of the Government of National Unity (GNU), observers said.

Last week, Dbeibah ordered armed groups to be dismantled, triggering the worst fighting in years between the two armed groups. The clashes killed at least eight civilians, according to the United Nations.

The insecurity underscored a reported plan by the administration of U.S. President Donald J. Trump to relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

Although numerous sources confirmed the intentions to U.S. outlet NBC News, the U.S. Embassy to Libya denied the report. “The report of alleged plans to relocate Gazans to Libya is untrue,” the embassy said on social media platform X.

Christians living in the country also face insecurity in the troubled Islamic nation: Recently, the 10th anniversary was observed of the February 12, 2015, massacre by the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, of more than 20 Christians.

ISIS released gruesome footage of the group wearing orange overalls. They were being forced to the ground and then decapitated in Libya because they refused to deny their faith in Christ as their Lord and Savior

The 21 Christian construction workers—twenty from Egypt and one from Ghana—were kidnapped in the Libyan city of Sirte. Many of the men reportedly cried out, ‘Ya Rabb Yesua!’ – ‘O Lord Jesus!’” just before their final breath.
