The UN-installed Presidency Council brokered late on Wednesday an agreement with loyal brigades and municipal councils to stop fighting in Tripoli. According to the ceasefire agreement, all armed brigades “rival ones” shall withdraw from Tripoli according to the Libya political agreement and release all prisoners who were arrested based on their identities. Now according to the ceasefire agreement, some of the controlled buildings would be handed over to other loyal brigades from Misrata. Reacting to the ceasefire agreement, Ghaniewa armed brigade, which now controls Rixos compound, said it was not part of the agreement and it will only accept inclusive solutions. “We will stand with Tripoli residents in their demands to expel gangs that worry them,” Ghaniewa armed brigade confirmed.
