In a shocking scene that sparked widespread anger in Libya, a video captured horrifying moments following a football match between Al-Ahli Tripoli and Al-Swehly teams. The video shows vehicles bearing the logo of the Ministry of Interior affiliated with the Temporary Government of National Unity speeding recklessly outside Tripoli International Stadium, running over several fans without stopping, continuing on as if nothing had happened. The incident, which occurred on Monday night after the match, spread like wildfire on social media, igniting the anger of the Libyan public, especially as the video clearly shows the moment of impact and some fans falling under the government vehicles' wheels. So far, no official clarification has been issued regarding the incident, and no deaths have been reported or the number of injuries specified, intensifying public outrage and demands for holding those responsible for this described "criminal" act accountable. The match itself ended in a positive draw with one goal each, in the first round of the Libyan Premier League's first hexagonal phase, in a tense atmosphere heightened by this incident. The circulated video, widely shared by activists, shows a military vehicle running over fans, while voices demanding an immediate and transparent investigation into the incident grew louder, calling for no cover-up of those involved in this crime against innocent citizens who came out to watch a football match. At the moment, the Libyan public awaits the government's stance on this escalation, amid calls for justice and a complete rejection of any delay or justification for what happened.
