Thirty Tebu, including members of the National Tebu Assembly (NTA), yesterday staged a demonstration against discrimination outside the offices of the UN Support mission in Libya (UNSMIL).

Tebu activist Hassan Al-Tubawey told the Libya Herald that demonstrators had gathered to voice a building sense of resentment felt by the ethnic minority group. In particular, he cited perceived injustices in Kufra, Sebha and Ajdabiya since the revolution.
