The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) asked Libyan citizens about the impact of the spread of arms in Libya on them, their families, and their children.
In a tweet on its Twitter account on Disarmament Week, UNSMIL announced that it would like to hear from people in Libya, posing two questions directed to citizens.
The missions asked, “how has the proliferation of arms in Libya personally impacted you and your family?” and “how do you think regularizing the possession of weapons in Libya should start?”
The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Libya, Abdullah Bathily, said told the Security Council that despite the noticeable decrease in the mobilization of armed groups and clashes among them, there are reports of ongoing large-scale recruitment activities.
The fighting between armed groups in Zawiya, west of Tripoli, on September 25 trapped dozens of families for several hours and left at least three civilians dead, including a 10-year-old girl.
