The Chairman of the Presidential Council, Fayaz Al-Sarraj, has set the first of February 2018 as a date for the return of Tawergha IDPs to their home town within the framework of achieving national reconciliation. In a statement on Tuesday, Al-Sarraj pointed out that the date was chosen in implementation of the deal, which was reached by representatives of the cities of Misrata and Tawergha to develop a mechanism for the return of the IDPs. He expressed his appreciation to all those who had made the reconciliation possible and gave special praise to the people of the two cities who rose to this occasion. He also gave orders to all state security and service institutions to ensure appropriate security conditions for their return and to secure their rights to a decent living. Misrata and Tawergha signed an agreement earlier this year to facilitate the return of the Tawergha IDPs to their home town during last Ramadan.
