| Overview of position | The Murzuq district in southern Libya, historically a vibrant trade hub, is currently facing the repercussions of ongoing conflict, leading to violence, economic distress, and ethnic tensions. In recent years, clashes have erupted between rival factions and ethnic communities, resulting in significant displacement and economic disruption, and contributing to regional instability.
This conflict has disproportionately impacted vulnerable groups, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), women, children, and the elderly, who face challenges in securing livelihoods and accessing essential services. Despite these difficulties, a positive development occurred in 2022 with a reconciliation agreement signed between Tebu and Ahali leaders, fostering hope for peace and cooperation.
Addressing these complex challenges requires a comprehensive mapping exercise. This initiative aims to identify the specific needs of communities, focusing on IDP challenges, livelihoods, access to services, social cohesion, and climate change. The mapping exercise seeks to inform targeted interventions, aligning with the local and international partners’ efforts to rehabilitate Murzuq and facilitate IDP return. The ultimate goal is to empower vulnerable populations and contribute to the town’s recovery. |
