Hundreds Protest In Flood Hit Eastern Libya

Hundreds of residents of the Eastern Libyan City of Derna on Monday protested against local authorities, more than a week after heavy floods killed thousands in the City.

The protesters criticized the leader of Eastern Libya’s Parliament, Aguila Saleh, and local authorities that they blamed for the floods that have killed nearly 4,000 people, according to revised United Nations (UN) figures.

The protesters also burned the house of Derna’s Mayor, Abdulmenam Al-Ghaithi.

In a joint statement, the protesters said they wanted speedy investigations into the disaster and legal action against the leaders responsible.

They also demanded compensation, investigations into the city’s finances and the rebuilding of Derna.

Mr. Ghaithi, along with other Derna Municipal Officials, have since been suspended by the Eastern Libya Prime Minister Osama Hammad

Eastern Libya is governed by a parallel government, separate from the UN-recognized government based in Libya’s Capital, Tripoli.
