Man hoffte auf richtig "Rambazamba" nachdem sich ein paar Tage zuvor die bewaffneten Revolutionaere in einer Parade durch Tripolis bewegt hatten

32. STP recalled that massive discrimination of the Toubou minority had been reported
from the south eastern part of the country. Some 4,000 Toubou people are living in the
town of Kufra, an oasis city of 44,000 inhabitants some 2,000 kilometres from Tripoli. In
the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, they were treated as foreigners by the authorities. In December
2007, the Libyan Government withdrew citizenship from members of the Toubou group,
stating that they were not Libyans but Chadians. Furthermore the local authorities issued
decrees barring Toubou from access to education and health care services. The armed
movement “Front for the Salvation of the Toubou Libyans” has opposed these measures
and up to 33 people died in Kufra, during five days of fighting between the official security
forces and the Toubou in November 2008.

33. Despite public criticism, the government of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya continues to
expel Toubou people from their residential areas in Kufra according to STP. Since
November 2009 dozens of families lost their homes due to forced destruction by bulldozers
supervised by state security forces. Several dozens of Toubou were arrested because of
their opposition against the forced evictions. They only were released after publicly
confirming that they would not block any destruction of houses. People who refused to
move from their houses were beaten by security officials. Some were notified by the
authorities to leave the houses only minutes before bulldozers destroyed their homes. No
alternative housing was proposed to the victims of the forced evictions. Furthermore,
Libyan authorities refused to renew or extend passports to members of this minority.
Several times parents were prevented from registering births of their children and denied
birth certificates. According to STP, the Libyan Government is responsible for a deliberate
policy of ethnic cleansing in Kufra which violates both Libyan and international law.
