Following the issues between warring factions of Libya, fighting between rival militias in the Libya’s capital Tripoli has continued, bringing most of the city to a standstill. 

According to Ceoafrica, eyewitnesses said that most of the main roads that lead into residential districts, and the highway were blocked using shipping containers, sand-piles, and burning tires. 

Shops are closed and some schools in affected areas have suspended classes; during the night, the Alnabaa TV station, often accused of being sympathetic to one of the rival alliances, was set ablaze. 

One floor of the Alkhadra hospital was hit by a stray rocket. 

The violence first erupted on Monday night in West Tripoli's residential district of Gergaresh, but it has since spread to other areas and has been characterised as turf warfare between the various groups involved.

They used heavy weaponry including anti-aircraft guns, and tanks. 

The opposing sides are also nominally allied to Tripoli’s United Nations-backed administration and a rival defunct government that has been trying to resurrect itself.
