The Head of the High Council of State (HCS) has accused Egypt of bombing the migrants’ detention center in Tajoura, eastern Tripoli.

“The country that is currently presiding over the African Union is the same country that bombarded the African immigrants last night in Tajura.” Al- Mishri said on Twitter on Wednesday.

“An international fact-finding mission is needed to hold the perpetrators of this crime accountable and put an end to these violations.” He added.

An overnight airstrike by a drone for Khalifa Haftar’s forces hit Daman Camp – Tajoura migrants’ detention center – leaving behind over 44 migrants killed and over 100 others injured.
