Security Collapse Deepens Humanitarian Crisis in Libyan Capital

Security Collapse Deepens Humanitarian Crisis in Libyan Capital
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The head of the National Institution for Human Rights in Libya (NIHRL), Ahmed Hamza, has raised alarm over a surge in crime and organised criminal activity across Tripoli and its outskirts, attributing the rise to a deteriorating security environment.

In a statement published on Facebook, Hamza blamed the increase on the absence of law enforcement and the ineffective role of the Ministry of Interior in combating crime and protecting civilians. He also accused certain agencies affiliated with the ministry—particularly the General Security Apparatus and security checkpoints—of involvement in armed robberies and thefts, further fuelling the rise in criminal activity.

Hamza warned that elements outside the law have exploited the current security vacuum and chaos in the capital to carry out what he described as “sinful criminal acts.” He described the situation as “extremely dangerous,” saying it has significantly affected the daily lives, safety, and property of citizens and residents alike.

“This alarming security state has worsened the humanitarian and living conditions of people in Tripoli,” Hamza said. He urged the government to assume full responsibility for restoring public order, protecting lives and property, and holding accountable those involved in the crimes and violations.

He called for immediate reform of the security sector and a decisive restoration of control in Tripoli and surrounding areas.

The statement comes amid growing public frustration over lawlessness in the capital, where armed groups continue to operate with impunity. Libya has struggled to maintain security institutions since the 2011 uprising, with rival forces vying for control over state agencies and territory.
