Brände in Libyen: Die libysche Kleinstadt al-Asabaa rätselt um eine Brandserie

The article reports on a series of fires in the small Libyan town of al-Asabaa, which has caused fear and confusion among residents. Since early last year, nearly 500 homes have been damaged, with some completely destroyed. The fires have occurred frequently, often without apparent cause, leading locals to suspect supernatural forces like 'Djinns.' The local government and militias have struggled to address the issue, with the Ministry of Religious Affairs sending Islamist groups to expel these supposed evil spirits. Meanwhile, the lack of functioning fire services and ongoing instability in Libya exacerbate the situation. Residents express concern over the impact on community trust and hospitality, traditional values in Libyan society.
