South African authorities have arrested 95 Libyan nationals at a suspected secret military training camp located on a farm in the Mpumalanga province.
The Libyans claimed to have entered the country on study visas to train as security guards, but police investigations suggest they received military training.
Authorities are investigating whether there are additional illegal bases in other parts of South Africa and are questioning the farm owner.
The discovery of the camp has raised concerns about the potential threat to South Africa and the southern Africa region as a whole.
