The Association of Derna Civil Societies welcomed Saturday the efforts of all concerned parties that led to opening the blocked roads in the city after the suffering time experienced by residents in the last three weeks.

In a statement, the civil societies praised the unity of the residents in Derna on the political, social and military levels against the siege of Operation Dignity forces of Khalifa Haftar.

The statement also stressed that dialogue is the best way to end conflicts in the country and there must always be new initiatives to help achieve the national reconciliation project.

“We prepared with a number of international legal and humanitarian organizations a letter documenting the names responsible for the siege on Derna, hoping to bring them to justice amid the current absence of law in Libya.” It added.
