Sudanese migrants in Libya report that they do not receive health care, and live in difficult conditions, following an aerial bombardment in Ajdabiya, in which five Sudanese were killed and 15 others were wounded.

The Libyan Air Force targeted a Sudanese café that was suspected of containing a weapon store belonging to combatants of the Islamic State, sources told press agency APA on Monday.

A Sudanese resident in Libya told Radio Dabanga that the wounded Sudanese were taken to the hospital in Ajdabiya, 160 kilometres west of Benghazi, “but they are not receiving any care because of the many wounded Libyans in the hospital.”

He said that officials of the Sudanese Embassy in Tripoli have not visited them. “We live in a bad security situation, in which we are often subject to arrests for no reason. Some are imprisoned for several days and then released.”

The residents added that sometimes, those arrested are deported to Sudan. He called on the Embassy of Sudan to support them and help improve their conditions in Ajdabiya.
