Armed Attack Leaves Libyan Man Dead in Al-Zawiya

Armed Attack Leaves Libyan Man Dead in Al-Zawiya
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In the early hours of Friday morning, unidentified gunmen opened fire on a man identified as Youssef Abukhdeir in the Al-Manqaa Street area of Al-Zawiya, western Libya, killing him instantly.

According to local reports, Abukhdeir was targeted by a hail of bullets fired from a moving vehicle shortly before dawn. The attackers fled the scene immediately, leaving the victim fatally wounded.

Security sources said that an investigation has been launched to determine the motives behind the killing and identify those responsible. The area was cordoned off by local security forces as forensic teams collected evidence and eyewitness testimonies.

The city of Al-Zawiya, located west of Tripoli, has witnessed a rise in armed attacks and assassinations in recent months amid escalating tensions between rival groups operating in the region.

Residents have called on authorities to strengthen security measures and bring the perpetrators of such crimes to justice, as violence continues to threaten stability and public safety in western Libya.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
