Libya: The fight for Tripoli explained from the front line – BBC News
Eight years after the fall of its former ruler, Muammar Gaddafi, Libya remains plagued by instability.
Last month the self-styled Libyan National Army led by strongman General Khalifa Haftar launched an offensive on the capital, Tripoli.
BBC Arabic’s Feras Killani has spent time embedded with fighters allied to the country’s internationally recognised Government of National Accord, as they battle to repel the assault.
He reflects on what he saw on the frontline, and explains what’s happening and what it means for Libya.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

( To the people who say that if Gaddafi was still alive this wouldn’t have happened ). If Gaddafi was still alive things would’ve been much worse, for example in Tripoli Isis were severing peoples heads and playing football with them and he didn’t do anything, people in Tripoli had to literally fight for their lives and he didn’t do anything.

These ppl that are fighting against the forces of the general Khalifa Haftar aren't real forces
They are Just Big criminals who are drug addicts
They aren't fighting for Tripoli
They are fighting for their money, wealth.

The people of Libya were uprising against Gaddafi, it was obvious they wanted him out. But, since his death and overthrow, why hasn't the majority of the people in Libya United peacefully to elect a new government ? They have been fighting every since. I hope one day they find peace.
