An incident involving a monkey saw two tribes come to blows in Libya, leaving 16 people dead.
A further 50 were wounded following the clashes between rival factions in the southern city of Sabha, the heart of the country's smuggling and human trafficking network.
According to residents, the latest bout of violence erupted between the Awlad Suleiman and Gaddadfa tribes when a monkey belonging to a shopkeeper from the Gaddadfa tribe attacked a group of schoolgirls passing by.
The monkey pulled off one of the girls' head scarf, leading men from the Awlad Suleiman tribe to retaliate.
They killed three people from the Gaddadfa tribe as well as the monkey, according to a resident who spoke to Reuters.
They probably thought the monkey did it as an order by the other ppl from the other tribe (since monkeys are commonly trained there to steal things).
anyways I hate the way news outlets only report on these types of stories when it comes to the middle east. they never share positive stories about positive things happening there. there are so many cool advancements happening there and great things going on yet the media is so out to make all of the middle east/N-A look like a complete and utter disaster. it is definitely far behind on so many things but the way they have successfully made it look like ALL middle easterners are horrible people is so disheartening and sad. I have a feeling everyone stereotypes all arabs now...legit EVERYONE does. :/
