Derna protest in rejection to Haftar’s airstrikes on civilian areas

Derna residents went out on Friday in a protest against the continuous airstrikes by Khakifa Haftar-led Dignity Operation (Karama) on residential areas in the city, killing Abd injuring many civilians.
Likewise, in a statement, Derna residents appealed to all related parties to keep their city away from war after it had been freed from ISIS.
The statement found it strange that the officials in Libya are silent toward what is happening to Derna, calling on all parties to help their city be built not worsen it’s destruction.
