Libyan tribal leaders attend a large gathering entitled the National Conference for Libyan Tribes in Tripoli.
About 2,000 chiefs were present, representing all of Libya‘s 850 tribes and the gathering was organized by the tribes themselves. Some leaders from east come to Tripoli via Cairo and Tunisia. All tribal chiefs called „colonial, crusader“ aggression by Western forces to end immediately and for Libyan unity. The world needs to listen to the tribes of Libya, not to the people meeting in Rome.
