UK: Hundreds of Chadians were surrounded and detained on the streets of a Libyan city for the ninth day after the Chadian government detained four Libyans on suspicion of poaching endangered animals.

A militia affiliated with the commander of the self-proclaimed Libyan National Army, Khalifa Haftar, has so far detained at least 400 people in the city of Ajdabiya.

Earlier this month, Chadian authorities detained four people from Ajdabiya for illegally entering the country and taking a rare species of antelope. It is known that a network of Libyans has been conducting poaching operations in the northeastern part of Chad for years.

A security source in Libya told the Guardian that the Ajdabiya brigade, led by Khalifa Haftar's son-in-law Ayub Issa al-Farzani, has since detained at least 400 Chadids.

The source added that "the campaign is still on." If something happens to the four Libyans, it could reach the point where ties with Chad are broken.

The source claimed that many of these Chadians were suffering from infectious diseases. Given that many of them do not have the proper documents to stay in Libya, we intend to send them back to Chad.

Pictures of prisoners sitting on the ground surrounded by soldiers are going viral on social media sites associated with the brigade.

Five vehicles entered Chad from Libya near the city of Murdi, according to Chadian Environment Minister Mahmet Ahmet Lazina, who also revealed that Chadian security forces were chasing them. Three of these cars fled and crossed the border again.

If found guilty, all four could face up to five years in prison.

According to Lazina, poaching is a major "international embarrassment" in a nation dedicated to wildlife conservation.

In north-eastern Chad, hunters chase Barbary sheep, also known in Chad as mouflon a manchets, birds of prey, and the critically endangered dama gazelle, the world's largest species of gazelle and its skin. is in high demand.

According to the United Nations, poachers from Sudan and Libya killed about 4,000 elephants in Chad between 2002 and 2010.

"It is inhumane that they arrest all the poor workers who came to this country to improve their lives, who went for poaching for four people," said Ajdabiya activist Mansoor Ati.

An estimated 50,000 Chadians work in Libya mainly in agriculture and gold mining.

The four had "accidentally" entered Chad, according to the Libyan Foreign Ministry, who said they had begun talks with Chad to secure their release. The Chadian government chose not to comment.
