Authorities in eastern Libya have announced an international Reconstruction Conference following deadly floods that devastated the city of Derna. Protestors in Derna called for accountability over the high death toll and demanded an investigation into the city council and previous budgets. The spokesperson for the Libyan national army leader, Khalifa Haftar, acknowledged the anger of the people and stated that their voices have reached all institutions of power in Libya. The conference aims to present rapid projects for reconstruction, but no details have been given on how delegates will be accommodated in the devastated city.
