Summary:

Since the death of Qaddafi, the people of Fezzan have been divided into three main ethnic groups: Arabs, Tebus, Tuaregs. Without state authority, each group is trying to make their own rules. Each one lives in a specific location. For example, in the Qaheera area, the Arabs, Tebus, and Tuaregs each have their own block. Last year, a neighboring tribe got in a fight with the Tuaregs, but the situation got under control. Everyone is staying on their own block, but now their is a security problem because the police don't want to go in that area. Criminals have better weapons than them, so they are afraid.
