The Head of the UNSMIL Ghassan Salame said his recent initiative for de-escalation in Libya has three points that could lead to a peaceful solution to the conflict.

A number of Libyan citizens held a protest on Wednesday, in front of the UN mission’s HQ in Janzour district, west of Tripoli, to demand the expulsion of the UN envoy to Libya, Ghassan Salame.

An official in the Libyan National Army (LNA) revealed yesterday that Turkish intelligence is operating within the capital Tripoli in order to support the interim Government of National Accord (GNA) which is officially recognised by the United Nations (UN).

The Foreign Minister of Libya’s UN-backed Government of  National Accord, Mohamed Sayala, called Wednesday on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate a recent deadly airstrike on the southern city of Murzuq.

Militias of Khalifa Haftar executed two of Tripoli’s residents, who were identified to be Khaled Almutamad and Abdullah Jabour, after kidnapping them on the coastal road of Garabulli district, on July 27th.

Libya’s internationally recognised government has allocated 40 million Libyan dinars ($28.5 million) for its defence ministry, it said on Tuesday, stepping up spending to fend off an eastern offensive as the war enters a fifth month.

The Air Force of Khalifa Haftar’s forces said it had carried out airstrikes on Misrata’s air college early on Tuesday, hitting a military cargo plane laden with ammunition.

The UN Security Council reaffirmed Monday the call on all Libyan parties to commit to a ceasefire and rapidly to return to a UN-mediated political process.

The EU delegation to Libya issued a statement for its spokesperson saying the airstrike in Libya’s Murzuq had claimed the lives of civilians in southern Libya, a region that is already paying a heavy price for the inability of the warring parties to end the crisis.

The Counter-Terrorism Force confirmed in a statement Sunday the arrest of an ISIS member in his hideout in Swawa area of Sirte.
