Exactly one year ago, on September 11, 2023, the eastern Libyan coastal town of Derna was hit by deadly floods. Cyclone Daniel left around 5,000 people dead, as many missing and 45,000 displaced. Today, the city is undergoing a full reconstruction. Belgacem Haftar, the son of powerful Libyan military and political leader Khalifa Haftar, has assumed a lead role in the reconstruction process. He has plans for several cities in Libya’s east as a way to make amends to a population traumatised by more than a decade of civil war. Our correspondents Lilia Blaise and Hamdi Tlili sent us this exclusive report from Derna over the summer, with Fadil Aliriza.
