Deadly clashes shake Libyas capital, killing 13 civilians #IndiaNEWS #News
Cairo: Deadly clashes broke out Saturday in Libyas capital between militias backed by its two rival administrations, portending a return to violence amid a long political stalemate. At least 13 civilians were killed and over 95 wounded, the Health Ministry said.
It added that 64 families were evacuated from areas around the fighting. The escalation threatens to shatter the relative calm Libya has enjoyed for most of the past two years. The oil-rich nation plunged into chaos following a NATO-backed uprising that toppled and killed longtime autocrat Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. Among the fatalities was Mustafa Baraka, a comedian known for his social media videos mocking militias and corruption.
Baraka died after he was shot in his chest, according to Malek Merset, an emergency services spokesman. Merset said emergency services were still trying to evacuate wounded and civilians trapped in the fighting that erupted overnight and continued into Saturday.
The Health Ministry said in a statement hospitals and medical centers in the capital were shelled, and ambulance teams were barred from evacuating civilians, in acts that “amount to war crimes. ? The municipal council of Tripoli blamed the ruling political class for the deteriorating situation in the capital, and urged the international community to “protect civilians in Libya. ?The violence caused widespread panic among Tripoli residents.
Footage circulated online showed houses, government facilities, and vehicles apparently damaged from the fighting. Other footage showed militia forces deploying and heavy fire being exchanged across the night sky. The U. N. mission in Libya said the fighting involved “indiscriminate medium and heavy shelling in civilian-populated neighborhoods? of Tripoli. The mission called for an immediate cease-fire, and for all parties in Libya to “refrain from using any form of hate speech and incitement to violence. ?
