“Infidels”… A mass attack on tourists sparks outrage in Libya

A wave of anger has prevailed among Libyans in the past few hours, after a video clip documenting a mass attack on foreign tourists spread across the via of the capital, Tripoli.

The video showed a group of minors and young people attacking foreign tourists wandering around the Tarik al-Shatt area of ​​the capital, gathering around them, harassing and insulting them, to the point of being attacked without any official security intervention to defend them . .

“infidels”!

The clip also tracked the tourists’ attempt to flee and return to the inn while they were in state of fear and panic, but the group chased them and tried to hinder their movement, while one of them shouted, “infidels”, in the complete absence of the security services.

Furthermore, these scenes sparked widespread anger about the social mediaas activists criticized the barbarity of young people, considering it offensive to the image and culture of the country.

Activist Hakim Hijazi wrote, “Those of lost and lost Tripoli, without authority or law,” he asked, “What do we expect from a generation raised in chaos?”

While the activist, Ruqaya, called for the prosecution and incarceration of these young people, because what they did was not of Libyan morality, and an uncivilized act, and questioned the absence of the police.

In turn, the activist Muhammad al-Azraq, commenting on the incident, considered that the youth video, which monitored the harassment of foreign tourists inside Tripoli, is “a model that damages Libya’s reputation as a state and people”.

Interestingly, since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, it has become very rare for tourists to visit Libya, due to the disturbed security situation and the record of kidnapping cases targeting mainly foreigners.
