Certain armed groups seen as neutral in the latest crisis moved to back Mr. Dbeibah this weekend to push back Mr. Bashagha's second attempt to enter the capital. On August 27 evening, Mr. Dbeibah posted a video of himself surrounded by bodyguards and greeting fighters supporting his administration. Mr. Bashagha denied such talks had taken place, and accused Dbeibah's "illegitimate" administration of "clinging to power". On Saturday evening Mr. Dbeibah ordered the arrest of anyone involved in the "attack on Tripoli", both civilian and military. "The armed groups that found themselves on the same side in yesterday's Tripoli fighting will tomorrow clash over turf, positions and budgets," he wrote on Twitter.

Major militia clashes in Tripoli on Friday and Saturday have led to 32 deaths and 159 injuries, the Tripoli Health Ministry reported today. Bashagha has made several attempts to enter Tripoli in order to take up the prime ministership, including an attempt in May that led to militia clashes. Aligned militias to incumbent prime minister Aldabaiba have used force to prevent Bashagha physically entering and remaining in Tripoli. The pro-Aldabaiba militias seem to have succeeded in ejecting the pro-Bashagha militias from their central Tripoli barracks.

Militias patrolled nearly deserted streets in Libya's capital Sunday, a day after clashes killed over 30 people and ended Tripoli's months-long stretch of relative calm. They recounted horrific scenes of people, including women and children, trapped in their homes, government buildings and hospitals. Militia clashes are not uncommon in Tripoli. Last month, at least 13 people were killed in militia fighting. In May, Bashagha attempted to install his government in Tripoli, triggering clashes that ended with his withdrawal from the city.

Some of the fiercest clashes in two years in Libya’s capital between militias loyal to rival political leaders have left nearly three dozen people dead, as neighborhoods became battlefields and residents hunkered down in their homes, fearing a return to war in the country. At least 32 people were killed in street-to-street fighting on Saturday, some of them civilians, and more than 150 others were wounded, according to the health ministry. For years, Libya has been fractured between rival governments and prime ministers — and the militias they control. The internationally recognized Libyan government is led by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeiba and based in the capital, Tripoli, in the country’s west.

The death toll from clashes between rival militias in Tripoli rose to 32, Libyan health authorities said on Sunday, Anadolu reports. In a statement, the Health Ministry said 159 people were injured in the violence that rocked several districts in the Libyan capital. The violence came amid military buildups by forces affiliated with Dbeibeh and Bashagha, as both figures claim power and authority in the capital. Oil-rich Libya has remained in turmoil since 2011 when longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi was ousted after four decades in power.

Bashagha’s prospects of seizing control in Tripoli, which lies in west Libya, appear badly dented for now but there is no sign of a broader political or diplomatic compromise to end the struggle for power in Libya. But the rivals might also seek to build new military coalitions capable of expanding their areas of control, he said. Several groups aligned with Bashagha in Tripoli appeared to have lost control of territory inside the capital on Saturday. Attempts by other forces, aligned to him and trying to advance into the capital from the west and south, appeared to stall. A top pro-Bashagha commander Osama Juweili said Saturday’s fighting had been triggered by friction between armed forces in Tripoli.

But analysts said the crisis was far from resolved, with the capital controlled by a multitude of armed groups with shifting alliances. “The armed groups that found themselves on the same side in yesterday’s Tripoli fighting will tomorrow clash over turf, positions and budgets,” he wrote.

According to the health ministry, at least 32 people were killed and numerous others were injured during the battle.
