#Libya Situation seems tense again in South #Tripoli near Wadi Rabie - Are the 7th brigade making another move on the old international airport? Mainly Salah Eddinen road & Gaser Ben Ghashir could be affected by clashes. If so, how Tripoli Protection Force will intervene?

In the meanwhile LNA launches a military operation in southwest #Libya. Spokesperson al-Massmari says to protect Libyan borders, fight human trafficking & securing foreign companies investing in oil & gas prod. LNA declares #Sabha military zone & calls #Chad to close the border.

#Facebook has huge influence in #Libya and is a key weapon for many actors.

#Libya #Tripoli The Ministry's Wounded Affairs Department announces public emergency & deployment of ambulances in the vicinity of the clashes. Machine Gun Sound can be heard in the area of Gaser Ben Ghashir.

#Libya The recents clashes in #Tripoli, as the previous one, are a clear sign of lack of security sector reform. Once again, #EU leaders have appeared to address the needs of EU audiences more than Libyan. This is another "relevant" @UNSMILibya statement.
