(MEE) — As chaos reigns in Libya, with competing authorities continuing to vie for power, the battle for Tripoli appears to have begun anew.
Libya’s new civil war is quickly becoming a war fought on many layered and at times competing fronts. There is now a regional, ideological and internationalised font in a war for what remains the heart and soul of a failed state that was once the most united, wealthy and stable in Africa. It was also incidentally the most effective state in Africa at prosecuting terrorism, more so even than the much larger Egypt, a country which spiritually and culturally is far more Levantine than Maghrebi (Arab Africa) as it stands.
As Libya descends further into civil war, the western backed Government of National Accord in Tripoli has come under attack from a rival Tripoli faction, forces loyal to the National Salvation Government.
Dozens are reported killed and over 120 are reported wounded as ferocious fighting continues.
