A militia affiliated with warlord Khalifa Haftar released Friday a woman and her children after a month of detention.

The woman identified to be Maryam bin Qamo was stopped at a checkpoint in an area controlled by Haftar's militias.

The mother and her children were traveling from Tripoli to Derna city in the east.

Maryam had fled with her family to Tripoli during Haftar's war on Benghazi before the latter took control of the city in 2017.
