Part 4/7:
Subha's location at the confluence of borders with Algeria, Chad, and Niger enhances its strategic importance. The presence of various military bases underscores the role of security in this region, which is currently governed by General Khalifa Haftar. With the armed forces assisting in facilitating secure transport of oil, the area's economic stability is being nurtured.
However, the scars of past conflicts are visible throughout the region. Places like Muruk, a city located just 130 kilometers away, bear the remnants of the devastation experienced during Libya's last civil war. In 2019, over 5,000 houses were destroyed, forcing approximately 40,000 residents to flee. Today, the pioneering efforts of reconstruction have allowed many families to return to their homes.
