US EditionUN experts urge forces of powerful Libyan commander to stop evicting residents, demolishing homes
- United Nations experts have urged the Libyan National Army, commanded by Khalifa Hifter, to stop forcibly evicting residents and demolishing their homes in Benghazi. Over 20,000 residents have been removed from their homes at short notice, leading to irreparable harm to the city's urban architecture. The demolition is part of a development project in the city.
- The experts also highlighted that authorities in eastern Libya have not provided any assistance or compensation to the affected residents. Those who have protested their removal have faced pressure, harassment, and violence. The impacted areas remain closed to the public.
- Benghazi, Libya's second-largest city, played a pivotal role in the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that toppled Moammar Gadhafi. It has since become the stronghold for Hifter's forces. Libya is currently ruled by rival administrations in the east and the west, backed by armed groups and foreign governments.
