The head of the Civil Registry Authority (CRA), Mohammed Beltamer, issued a decision on Tuesday to set up a committee to compute all families in the Civil Registry Office in Murzuk, southwest Libya.

The CRA explained on their official Twitter page that the purpose of this census is to reopen the office, which has been closed more than two years because of poor security conditions and to provide services to citizens again.

Observers said that the reason for the closure of some civil registry offices in some areas is because of a fear of manipulation and forgery in official records and the issuance of forged personal and family documents for foreigners.
