Turkey on Wednesday called for a truce “without delay” in Libya after fresh clashes erupted between armed groups in the capital of Tripoli.
Violent clashes flared again Wednesday between the Radaa force and the 444 Brigade in key areas of Tripoli after fighting in recent days left at least six people dead.
“We are closely monitoring the escalating situation in and around Tripoli,” the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement.
“We call on all parties to implement a full and lasting ceasefire without delay and to engage in dialogue to settle disputes,” the ministry said.
Libya has struggled to recover from years of unrest since the NATO-backed 2011 uprising that toppled and killed longtime leader Moamer Kadhafi.
The country remains split between a UN-recognized government in Tripoli, led by Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah, and a rival administration in the east, controlled by the Haftar family.
Between April 2019 and June 2020, Haftar launched an offensive to seize Tripoli with the support of foreign powers including Russia and Egypt, which was halted by Tripoli government backed by Turkey.
