Short thread - Mass graves discovered recently in #Tarhuna. Since 2011, #Tarhuna has been the scene for some horrific crimes at the hands of a local armed group known as the Kaniyat.
1- Over the years, the Kaniyat formed a number of opportunistic alliances of convenience with various actors including: LIFG figures, Qaddafi loyalists, Misratan factions & their latest alliance with the LNA/#Haftar. #Libya
2- The discovery of the mass graves in #Tarhuna occurred after the fall of the city in the hands of the Turkish backed GNA forces. As with everything else in #Libya this horrific tragedy is being weaponized politically in the ongoing war of narratives by the conflict parties.
3- This is the first time in all these years that #Tarhuna is not under the control of the Kaniyat. This is why it was possible to discover these mass graves & start to uncover the scale of atrocities committed in the city since 2011. #Libya
4- The foremost priority must be for #justice & #accountability. Political scoring does not serve that purpose. What, serves justice is a rigorous, transparent & independent investigation that determines context, circumstances & timelines for these horrific crimes. #Libya
5- It is important to look at how the Kaniyat have been enabled by various actors/entities since 2011 (mentioned in No. 1), including #Libya's successive governments since the fall of the Qaddafi regime. #Libya
