The Military Academy in Tripoli has marked the sixth anniversary of the cadets killed in an attack on its training yard on 4 January 2020. The Tripoli Military College attack - occurred during the offensive on Tripoli- was carried out by Khalifa Hafter's forces against the UN-recognised Government of National Accord. On that day, an airstrike killed at least 30 cadets and wounded dozens more while they were on the parade ground at the academy in the Hadaba area south of Tripoli. They praised efforts by the General Staff and the academy to secure the rights of the families of those killed and injured. Officials meeting relatives expressed solidarity with them, saying the military institution would continue to support the families and work to ensure they receive their entitlements.
