Libya tribe offers olive branch to Misrata
AFP – 19 hrs ago
Libya's Tawarga tribe apologised to Misrata's people for damage caused in the coastal city during last year's war, according to a statement received by AFP on Friday.
"We the Tawarga tribes of Libya apologise to our brothers in Misrata for any action committed by any resident of Tawarga," tribal elders said in a joint statement issued after a meeting in the eastern city of Bengazhi late Thursday.
----------
More than 1,000 people attended the meeting, including senior officials of the ruling National Transitional Council, tribal elders, and displaced people from Tawarga now living in Benghazi.
Absent from the gathering were representatives of Misrata, where officials accuse the Tawarga of playing a central role in a brutal siege by Kadhafi's regime against the port city.
