The fighting detachments of the 444th Brigade announced yesterday that it is continuing its anti-fuel smuggling campaign on the edges of greater Tripoli. The Combat Units of the 444th Brigade are part of the Tripoli Military District in the General Staff of the Libyan Army. In fact, they have clashed (September 2021) with militias on the outskirts of Tripoli over territoriality. Libyan governments, if they had the ability, would like to convert all militias into units within the army/police. The 444 is most known for its April 2021 actions in shutting down dens of smaller unrecognised militias and forcing them out of state and private properties.
