Gunfire exchanges between two prominent armed factions in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, have resulted in the deaths of 27 individuals and injuries to 106, according to an updated casualty count from the Emergency Medicine Centre.
The center, responsible for delivering urgent medical assistance in western Tripoli, released a “tentative” report on its Facebook page during the night, as reported by AFP. The clashes, involving the formidable 444 Brigade and the Al-Radaa, also known as the Special Deterrence Force, both among the multitude of militias contending for authority since the 2011 ousting of longtime ruler Moamer Kadhafi, commenced on Monday night and persisted through Tuesday.
