In Libya, violent clashes have erupted in the capital Tripoli between rival armed factions. The clashes come amid reports of the death of Abdul-Ghani al-Kikli, known as Ghaniwa, who headed the Stability Support Department affiliated with the Presidency Council. Local media reported yesterday that al-Kikli was killed inside the headquarters of the 444 Brigade, which is affiliated with the Tripoli Military Zone. Meanwhile, residents of parts of southern Tripoli confirmed hearing sounds of intense gunfire involving heavy weapons, as other areas of Tripoli are experiencing serious security tensions. The Ministry of Health announced full alert following the clashes, while the Interior Ministry advised the residents of Tripoli to remain at home for their safety. The Tripoli Mitiga International Airport announced the suspension of all flights while schools were suspended in some parts of Tripoli due to the clashes. The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) called for de-escalation in Tripoli. Ever since the fall of the late leader Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in 2011, Libya has been plagued by insecurity and political instability.
