In summer 2017 the flow of migrants to Italy suddenly dropped by 87%, while at the same time different news sources started speaking about a dodgy deal between Italy and a militia situated in Sabratha, North of Libya. Triggered by a Facebook post depicting a militian with Italian supplies, this website reconstructs, through social media feeds, the clashes and conflicts that took place in Sabratha during the end of September. Furthermore, cartography is used to highlight all fightings between multiple parties contesting the ownership of migrants.
