The conflict for Tripoli has displaced more than 55,000 according to the Organisation for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Haftar who had lived for decades in exile in the USA, courtesy the CIA, returned to Libya in 2011 taking part in the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.

Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Libya at this time.
