UN says at least eight mass graves have been reported found in Libya

At least eight mass graves been reportedly been discovered in Libya, according to the United Nations Support Mission in Libya.

In a tweet, the UNSMIL expressed "horror" over "reports on the discovery of at least eight mass graves in past days, the majority of them in Tarhuna."

Last week, Libya's UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) announced control over Tarhuna, a key city to the southeast of capital Tripoli, after pushing back eastern forces led by renegade general Khalifa Haftar. The town was previously occupied by the self-styled Libya National Army (LNA) forces loyal to Haftar.

It's unclear at this point who was responsible for the mass graves.

A member of security forces affiliated with the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA)'s Interior Ministry points at the reported site of a mass grave in the town of Tarhuna, about 65 kilometres southeast of the capital Tripoli on June 11, 2020.

In response, the US Embassy in Libya tweeted, "The United States shares UNSMIL's horror and supports immediate efforts by Libyan authorities and international bodies to investigate these intolerable abuses and bring perpetrators to justice."

Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, David Schenker, also responded, describing reports on the mass graves in Libya "truly disturbing."

Must be from the evil USA. Probably blacks because you know how evilly racist they always are. And trying to hide it while transferring the blame. Disgusting.

In a war zone? No freaking way. These people in our government, launch a war and then they’re astonished when there are graves found

I never could get my head around why Quadafi had to be killed. He was a known quantity. In 86, when Reagan sent the F111’s after him, he did an about face. He was pretty docile after that, and he didn’t put up with the Muslim extremists. So I think I just answered my own question.

Give partial credit to McCain, Graham and Rubio, because they helped.

Obama is an angel of death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obama is precisely what the founders were trying to prevent with the natural born citizen requirement.

Not ONE of our elected or Appointed would stand for the Constitution.

There have been reports of blacks being killed in Libya by muslims, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
