The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) on Friday expressed concern about clashes that took place between two armed groups in the capital Tripoli. “UNSMIL has received reports of civilian casualties as a result of clashes between two armed groups in Tripoli on Thursday night,” UNSMIL said in a statement. According to local media reports, clashes erupted on Thursday between rival armed groups in central Tripoli, killing at least 10 people and injuring 30 others. The Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli has suspended all flights due to the clashes. Libya has been suffering violence and unrest ever since the fall of the late leader Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in 2011.
