The
Libyan port city of Sirte, on the Mediterranean Sea, was in the grip of
the Islamic State organisation for an entire year. It was a strategic
stronghold for the terrorist group, with access to the sea and nearby
oil refineries. But since May, a coalition of militias and forces loyal
to Libya's UN-backed unity government (GNA) have been retaking the city
and the remaining jihadists are now cornered in one last district. Our
colleagues at France 2 report from Sirte.
