Tarhouna, a town less than 100 km south of the Libyan capital Tripoli.
For years, the city lived under the bloody rule of a militia known as the Kaniyat.
Summary executions, massacres and enforced disappearances were the daily lot of the inhabitants.
Even more, when the city became in 2019 a strategic base for Marshal Haftar in his failed offensive against Tripoli.
Since the flight of the Kaniyat troops, the inhabitants have been counting the dead and looking for the missing.
