UN calls for calm as fighting resumes in Libya’s Tripoli

The United Nations Mission to Libya (UNSMIL) has warned that the conflict in Tripoli could escalate, urging an immediate, unconditional ceasefire. Fighting resumed after authorities restored order, but residents reported chaos as attacks on civilians and infrastructure continued. Clashes between key groups deepened, with at least six casualties reported recently. Rada, a last independent militia faction, remains unaffiliated with Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah. Since 2011, Libya has struggled to recover from instability following Gaddafi's fall. The country split in 2014 between Tripoli and eastern forces led by Khalifa Haftar.
