« Les deux barrages qui ont rompu à Derna en septembre 2023, provoquant des inondations catastrophiques et meurtrières dans l’est du pays, présentaient depuis 1998 des fissures qui n’ont jamais été réparées, selon plusieurs rapports et études. Ces ouvrages édifiés sur l’oued éponyme, comme d’autres à travers le pays, sont négligés par les administrations qui se sont succédé au pouvoir depuis le coup d’État de 2011. Mais ils l’étaient déjà sous le régime de Mouammar Kadhafi (1969-2011). Sous la pression de pluies torrentielles, le premier barrage, celui d’Abou Mansour, d’une capacité de 22,5 millions de m3 situé à 13 km de la ville, a cédé, libérant des flots d’eaux qui ont foudroyé le deuxième, Al-Bilad d’une capacité de 1,5 million de m3, situé à seulement un kilomètre de la cité côtière. Sa proximité fait qu’il existait très peu de chance que l’inondation se dissipe avant d’atteindre la ville. Derna a donc reçu la pleine force du torrent. »Les deux barrages qui ont rompu à Derna en septembre 2023, provoquant des inondations catastrophiques et meurtrières dans l’est du pays, présentaient depuis 1998 des fissures qui n’ont jamais été réparées, selon plusieurs rapports et études.
