SSA launches night patrols to boost security in Zuwara

As part of ongoing efforts to enhance public safety in the city of Zuwara, the Zuwara–Ras Ajdir office of the Stability Support Apparatus (SSA) has launched night-time patrols and activated security checkpoints across several districts in the city.
The initiative aims to strengthen local security, curb violations, and ensure safe movement for residents during evening hours.
Located on Libya’s western coast, Zuwara lies approximately 120 kilometres west of Tripoli and holds strategic importance due to its proximity to the Ras Ajdir border crossing with Tunisia.
The SSA is a state-recognised security entity established by a Presidential Council decree in 2021. Its mandate includes supporting law enforcement, maintaining public order, and assisting relevant authorities in addressing criminal activity — all within the frameworks defined by official state institutions.
