The fresh guns burst on Wednesday in the Libyan capital between two powerful Ared groups, a security official said, one day after the authorities declared them to fight them.
The clashes broke out between the Radaa and Brigade 444 force in the key areas of the city, including the port, said the source.
The fighting decreased towards the end of the day, according to television reports and residents who spoke with the AFP, with some bakeries that opened but the schools that go back.
No official victims figures were published, but the middle Libya Libya Media said that he had recovered a body of an important street in Tripoli.
On Monday night, the fires and explosions of heavy weapons shook several districts of Tripoli, killing at least six people, according to the authorities.
The official described the fight as “Urban War”, with clashes in residential areas that involve light and medium weapons. In other areas, heavy weapons were used.
Libya has had problems recovering from the 2011 uprising backed by NATO who knocked down and killed the lung leader Moamer Gadhafi.
The country remains divided between an unrecognized government in Tripoli, led by Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah, and a rival administration in the east, controlled by the Haftar family.
Brigade 444 controls parts of the southern Tripoli and is aligned with Dbeibah. Raaa controls pieces in the east of the capital and has several key state facilities.
The fight spread in the south and western Tripoli when Raaa brought reinforcements to fight Brigade 444, said a source from the Interior Ministry.
More than 500 people gathered Wednesday in the Souq El-Jouma neighborhood, a strength of Radaa, singing slogans against the Dbeibah government and denouncing the dissolution of Brigade 444.
The reports say that Abdelghani al-Kikli, leader of the support and stability apparatus, that the Southern District of Abu Salim, was killed this week in an installation controlled by Brigade 444.
– ‘Territorial reorganization’ –
A source told AFP that the groups were moving to the capital of neighbor Zawiya in support of Radaa, which stops drugs from drugs and alcohol, as well as the affiliates of the Islamic State group.
Meanwhile, “more Misrata brigades can continue to join next to Dbeibah,” said Libya Jalel Harchaoui expert.
He described the last conflict as some of the most dangerous for the capital in recent years, telling him to be a “territorial reorganization” with more features “seijias to hint in the center of Tripoli.”
Turkey, a government supporter based in Tripoli, asked “all parties to implement a complete and durable fire without delay and participate in the dialogue to resolve disputes,” said his Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On Tuesday, the Tripoli -based government said the fighting had been controlled. Dbeibah thanked government forces “for restoring security and affirming the authority of the State in the capital.”
Dbeibah also announced a series of executive orders, including the dissolution of some bodies previously administered by armed groups of Tripoli other than Brigade 444.
But a second night of struggle could mean “a longer, destructive and existential battle with a national dimension” after what he said was the “lack of a quick victory” of Dbeibah.
The authorities also announced the fire, but shots were still heard in the western parts of Tripoli.
Embassy in Germany, France, the United States, Great Britain and Italy, expressed on Wednesday “their deep concern about the recent violence in Tripoli”, urging the “authorities to take all measures to protect civilians” in a statement.
The United Nations Mission in Libya said it was “deeply alarmed by the growing violence in densely populated neighborhoods of Tripoli for the second consecutive night.”
In a statement, he requested “a high and unconditional fire in all areas, allowing safe corridors for the evacuation of civilians trapped in intense conflict zones.”
