Armed groups in Tripoli have signed a ceasefire deal ending a four-day battle for control of the Libyan capital, the unity government said today. It provides for an "immediate ceasefire" and calls for armed groups that do not recognise the GNA to leave Tripoli within 30 days. Clashes last night rocked the capital's southern Salaheddine district, where several rival militias occupy barracks. Today's deal charges GNA forces with securing areas controlled by rival groups. That agreement, which gave rise to the GNA, called for armed groups to leave Tripoli and other Libyan towns.
