Amidst the political controversy surrounding former French President Nicolas Sarkozy's imprisonment, victims of the 1989 UTA Flight 772 bombing have been overlooked. The attack, orchestrated by Libya’s regime under Muammar Gaddafi, resulted in the death of all 170 passengers on board, including 54 French nationals. Yohanna Brette, whose mother was among those killed when she was a baby, spoke to FRANCE 24 about feeling abandoned after Sarkozy reportedly sought to rehabilitate Gaddafi’s image and lift an arrest warrant against Abdullah Senussi, the mastermind behind the bombing.
