Some accused two of the city’s powerful militias of infighting. Libya has for years been split between rival administrations in the east and the west, each supported by various well-armed militias and foreign governments. His rival, Bashagha, in a series of Tweets called on armed groups to surrender their weapons. Last month, Bashagha entered Tripoli and attempted to install his government there, but left within hours after fighting broke out that killed one person.
