Women take part in a protest in Tripoli, Libya as they wave national flags and chant slogans against Libya’s Field Marshal Khalifa Hifter, who is leading an offensive to take over the capital of Tripoli, Friday, April 19, 2019. He said militias allied with the U.N.-supported government launched airstrikes on the Alwatya air base, southwest of Tripoli. Residents in Tripoli said Hifter’s forces seem to be making small progress and gains on the ground. The fighting has killed 220 people, including civilians, since Hifter declared his offensive on April 5, the U.N. health agency said Friday. Tunis is officially neutral in the Libyan conflict and has hosted repeated diplomatic negotiations on Libya’s future.
