# The most intense clashes for years rocked the Lybian capital of Tripoli for a second night. Reuters reports this follows after Monday’s killing of a major militia leader that set off fighting between rival factions. The United Nations’ local mission, UNSMIL, says it is deeply alarmed by the escalating violence in densely populated neighbourhoods, and urgently calls for a ceasefire. The latest unrest could reportedly consolidate the power of the prime minister of the divided country’s government of national unity, Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah, who is an ally of Turkey.
