The Libyan capital, Tripoli, turned into a military base amid fears of war between the militias supported by Abdel Hamid Dbeibeh, head of the interim government, and fighters backed by parliament-appointed Fathi Bashagha, who chairs the unity cabinet.
The commander of the western military region, Major General Osama al-Juwaili, said that he refuses to negotiate with armed factions affiliated with Dbeibeh, demanding their unconditional withdrawal of from the government headquarters.
