Deadly clashes erupted in Tripoli, killing 27 people and injuring over a hundred others. Two rival armed groups clashed in the southeastern suburbs of the Libyan capital, plunging the region into a climate of growing instability.

An outbreak of violence has rocked the southeastern suburbs of Libya’s capital Tripoli since Monday night, when two influential armed groups began clashing violently. The clashes involved the use of heavy weaponry and quickly escalated to alarming proportions, leaving behind a tragic toll. The Center for Emergency Medicine (CMU), an agency responsible for relief in western Libya, published a devastating provisional report overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday on social networks.

According to this report, the violence caused the death of 27 people and left more than a hundred people injured. The once-peaceful streets of Tripoli’s southeastern suburbs have been the scene of intense heavy gun battles, plunging residents into fear and uncertainty. Rescuers had to face immense challenges in providing assistance to the victims, in a context made even more difficult by the proximity of the fighting.

Rivalries between armed groups continue to destabilize the country, hampering efforts to establish a strong central government and establish order. While the civilian population is paying a heavy price in these bloody clashes, the international community remains attentive to the situation in Libya.
