It is led by Jomode Eli Getty and Issa Abdel Majid Mansur, in France 2 actvist Libyan Toubou tribal leader, and has its headquarters in Oslo, Norway.

The group, which had participated in the Libyan Civil War on the NTC side, was disbanded in August 2011, with the fall of Tripoli.

In December 2007, the government of Libya stripped Toubou tribes from their citizenship, after being accused of aligning with Chad in past wars, or of being Chadians, not Libyans (Toubous live at both sides of the common border).

[2][3] On 20 November, a Toubou tribal meeting with Libyan officials was held in Kufra, which blame foreign media for distorting the incidents, rejected the TFSL as representative of the Toubous, defined Abdel Majid as "corrupt and irresponsible" and Muammar Gaddafi as "...the wise man of Africa, the founder of its unity and the strong advocate of its security, stability and freedom".

In February 2011, forces commanded by Issa Abdel Majid Mansur briefly controlled Murzuq and Qatrun, being later repelled by Libyan government troops.
