There were more militia clashes Friday night on the outskirts of Tripoli as the battle for who has the legitimacy to be Libya’s prime minister continues.
Militias aligned to Osama Juwaily, who is politically aligned to the House of Representatives’ selected prime minister, Fathi Bashagha, against the National Mobile Force thought to be in favour of the status quo.
On another more dangerous level, the Juwaily-aligned forces are deemed to represent the ethnically Arab Zintani whilst the National Mobile Force is deemed as representing the ethnically Amazigh Libyans.
The clashes involved the Juwaily aligned forces entering and temporarily occupying barracks in and around the Islamic Call Society headquarters at the Al-Jibs checkpoint off Swani Road.
The clashes were short-lived and ended on Friday night.
