Tawerghans plan to go home

Thousands of former supporters of Muammar Gaddafi who fled their town because of revenge attacks will try to return next week, their leaders said on Wednesday, risking a confrontation with their neighbours.

Thanks for the heads-up. Let's keep an eye on this and update the article when/if something happens. -Kudzu1 (talk) 12:14, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Slaves?

Where is it written that they were slaves as opposed to NATIVE, indigenous (black) Libyans? Ancient Egypt made clear that Libyans were black as well as some Asian types. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.8.197.169 (talk) 18:00, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Return of refugees

Libya Herald (http://www.libyaherald.com/?s=tawergha) is following the dispute about the refugee's return. As of end-of-June 2013, Tawerghans are essentially sitting on their packed bags and their return was in fact scheduled Jun 25, but there is still fear for their safety due to rogue militia from Misrata.

Status of town infrastructure etc is unknown (does pictorial evidence exist?). Earlier article http://www.libyaherald.com/2013/06/20/dont-go-back-to-tawergha-yet-zeidan-tells-its-people/ gives # of DPs as 35000, so the 2006 pop figure is defintely far off.

Please keep this passage in the Economy section

"In the Gaddafi period they were treated a lot better, receiving full education and development. Many of its inhabitants achieved high positions in the army and civil service."
