10 Chadians killed in southern Libya
Ten Chadian nationals have been gunned down in southern
Libya by attackers in military uniform, the Chadian foreign ministry said
Thursday, reports APF.
“Ten Chadian nationals were shot dead in cold blood in Sbeha
by a group of armed men, all of them wearing military uniforms," the
ministry said in a statement.
It added that the attackers were all Libyan and described
the incident as "an odious crime perpetrated against innocent
civilians".
The circumstances of the incident were not immediately clear
but N'Djamena said the Chadians were on their way home to Chad from the Libyan
capital Tripoli.
Migrants are chronically attacked by armed gangs prowling
Libya's lawless desert south.
Neighbouring Niger had earlier in May announced that eight
of its nationals were killed in the same area.
Thousands of sub-Saharan Africans have for decades sought
employment in oil-rich Libya but many returned home after Moamer Kadhafi was
slain in 2011.
