Haftar Orders The Slaughter of 100 Camels For Sudanese Refugees in South Libya
The General Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, has ordered the slaughter of 150 livestock, including 100 camels and 50 cows, to be distributed to Sudanese refugee families currently residing in the southern city of Kufra.
The initiative was carried out on the first day of Eid al-Adha and aims to support displaced Sudanese who have fled violence in their homeland and sought shelter in southeastern Libya.
The operation is being managed by the Subul Al-Salam Brigade under the command of the Libyan Land Forces. It is conducted in cooperation with the Kufra branch of the Anti-Illegal Immigration Authority and local officials, including the mayor of Kufra, who were present to oversee the distribution process.
The aid campaign targets all Sudanese refugee communities across Kufra, with meat distributions scheduled to continue through the third day of Eid. Organizers described the initiative as a gesture of solidarity and a humanitarian contribution during one of the most significant holidays in the Muslim calendar.
The displaced Sudanese population in Kufra has grown in recent months due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan. Many of the refugees face severe hardship, including limited access to food, healthcare, and employment. Haftar's decision to provide meat to these families is seen as an attempt to alleviate their suffering and acknowledge their plight during Eid.
Kufra, located near Libya's southeastern borders with Sudan and Chad, has become a key transit point for migrants and refugees escaping conflict zones. The city's infrastructure and social services are under strain from the increased population, making humanitarian efforts critical.
Community leaders and aid workers in the area welcomed the livestock donation, describing it as a meaningful act of generosity that brought some relief to hundreds of struggling families. Tags: Eid al Adhakhalifa haftarlibyaSudanese Refugees
