@tobruqibarqawi: Cyrenaica endured its most harrowing ordeal during the era of Italian detention camps; the families of Senussi resistance fighters were subjected to starvation, torture, and other atrocities. Far from signifying humiliation, this stands as proof that the people of Cyrenaica acted honorably in their resistance against the Italians. Even after the camps, the people of Cyrenaica joined the Senussi Army and drove the Italians out in 1949—a humiliating expulsion for the occupiers—leading to the establishment of the Emirate of Cyrenaica under Emir Idris al-Senussi.#cyrenaica #History #ww2 #edit #libya
