Tuareg militias of Ghat

Tuareg militias of Ghat (TMG) are ethnic Tuareg tribal militias, operating in South-West Libya desert areas during the Second Libyan Civil War. The militias rose to prominence in the district of Ghat, which has a Tuareg majority. Gradually, the Tuareg forces expanded their hold also into neighbouring districts. The Libyan Tuaregs are supported by Tuaregs of Mali and groups like Ahmed al-Ansari, with support from the Misratan Libyan Dawn forces. Tuareg militias often utilize the Berber flag.

2014 Clashes between Tuareg and Tebu tribal militias have repeatedly flared in Ubari at various times during October 2014. The Tebu tribes are affiliated with the Tobruk government in East Libya. On November 5, 2014, a Tuareg militia reportedly seized control of the El Sharara oil field in Fezzan. 2015 In July 2015, clashes between Tuaregs and Tebu tribes reached Sebha, the biggest city in southern Libya, forcing hundreds of families to flee their homes. Libya Tripoli government welcomed the signing of the ceasefire deal in a statement and thanked Qatar for mediating the process. Reportedly, the move came in line with a ceasefire agreement signed in November 2015 in Doha by Tebu and Tuareg representatives. ==References==
