Tribal Clashes Kill 16 In Libya's Sabha
2012-04-01
[AFP] At least 16 people were killed on Saturday in new festivities between the Toubou people and Arab rustics in the southern Libyan desert oasis of Sabha, local and medical sources told AFP.

A doctor at Sabha hospital, treating Arab casualties, said eight people were killed and another 50 maimed in fighting between the early morning and noon. A Toubou tribal source said eight of their people were also killed.

The fighting first erupted on Monday after Arab rustics accused the Toubou of killing one of their people. The first three days of festivities cost more than 70 lives, Libyan government front man Nasser al-Manaa said on Wednesday.

#2  Eventually one warlord will beat or win the allegience of the other 99 and become the new tyrant. That's how it always works.
