TRIPOLI/TUNIS (Reuters) – Residents of Tripoli emerging from their homes to take advantage of a ceasefire between armed groups noticed one thing straight away. The militias had not withdrawn their heavy weapons from strategic locations in the Libyan capital. A truce brokered by the United Nations on Tuesday after a week of violence between local fighters has largely been observed. The clashes, which left dozens dead, pitted four big armed groups in Tripoli against rivals from other towns. But he gave no details of what he planned to do if the truce was broken.
