Eruption of Violence in Tripoli Results in at Least 32 Deaths

At least 32 people were killed and another 159 were injured last night as violent clashes between rival militia groups broke out in the Libyan capital of Tripoli last night.


The clashes appear to have been triggered by a military group firing randomly at a convoy passing in the Zawia Street area, while armed groups were gathering at the 27th gate west of Tripoli and the Jebs Gate south of Tripoli. Throughout the capital city of Tripoli, the clashes ranged from large-scale gunfights to sporadic explosive blasts as rival militia groups battled for control of territory inside of the city.


The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Saturday called for an “immediate cessation” to the violence. Meanwhile, members of The Libyan Red Crescent are attempting to move into the city to conduct humanitarian tasks inside of the city.


What you're looking at above is just some of the footage taken from the clashes in Tripoli.
