Toubou chief Issa Abdel Majid Mansur said earlier this week that 40 members of
his tribe had been killed, and accused Libyan authorities of using warplanes
and tanks against his community.
Speaking to AFP, Mansur denounced what he said was a plan to “ethnically
cleanse” his people, and raised the threat of a separatist bid.
Ali al-Dib, a former rebel, said the clashes erupted in the city centre when
the Toubou refused to hand over to local authorities one of their men
accused of killing a member of the Bussif tribe.
The Toubou are black oasis farmers by tradition who also have connections
beyond Libya’s borders. They live in southern Libya, northern Chad and in
Niger, and have previously denied having separatist ambitions.
The Toubou have also been involved in deadly clashes with another tribe in the
Saharan oasis of Kufra, where ethnic groups are locked in a standoff over
smuggling.
