The body of Officer Munir Al-Mahdi Al-Qamoudi was discovered early Friday morning in the Bir Hassan area of Al-Zawiya, following clashes that erupted in the city the previous day.

This incident adds another layer of concern to the ongoing security challenges in the region, highlighting the volatile situation that continues to impact the local community. The authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding Al-Qamoudi’s death, amid reports of increased tension and violence in Zawiya.

This tragic event underscores the persistent instability in parts of Libya, where local conflicts frequently escalate into violent confrontations. The community and law enforcement officials are now calling for renewed efforts to address security issues and prevent further loss of life.

Safety in Libya’s capital, Tripoli is continuously deteriorating, with threats of kidnapping and murder a daily occurrence for residents.

Over the years, kidnappings, arrests, and assassinations have increased substantially in western Libya. This is evident in the repeated statements of the Ministry of Interior, about the arrest of gangs and individuals involved in the kidnapping and extortion of expatriate workers.

Libya ranked fourth in the Arab world, and twenty in the world, among the countries with the highest levels of organised crime, according to the report of the Global Initiative to Combat Crime (GLOBAL INITIATIVE).

In its latest report on Libya, the foundation based its indicators on several factors, most notably human trafficking, money laundering, drug trafficking, crimes related to animal and plant life, human smuggling, and arms trade.

According to the report, Libya ranked last in the world in terms of the degree of resilience against organised crime. This reflects the inability of the state to confront the scourge of crime.

Murder has been a weekly occurrence, throughout the country. The number of extrajudicial killings in 2022 has surpassed 173 people. This is especially due to the proliferation of weapons and the inability of the security services to monopolise the possession of weapons.

Libya ranked first in North Africa, third in the Arab world after Syria and Somalia, and 25th in the world according to the crime index of the database encyclopaedia, Numbeo.

Libya recorded a 60.5% crime rate, which is considered high, while recording a 39% safety rate. During the past eight years, the crime rate in Libya lowest in 2017 at 54%, and the worst in 2015 with 70%.
