 In June 2018, after the head of the Tawergha Local Council and the Mayor of Misrata signed a peace treaty, that pro-Khalifa Haftar internally displaced people of Tawergha deem the treaty as propaganda of the Muslim Brotherhood, the IDPs finally started resettling Tawergha without resistance from local militias.Despite the deals, most Tawergha IDPs have been unable to return as of January 2019 due to the mostly Misratan militias ravaging the town's infrastructure plus the IDPs feeling insecure according to Human Rights Watch.The police station of Tawergha was reopened in February.
