Following the killing of a powerful warrior, gunfire and explosions were heard throughout the Algerian capital following clashes between strongly armed armies, according to officials. According to them, at least six people were killed. Large arms were at the center of the hours-long conflicts, which began on Monday night and lasted until early on Tuesday, according to the officials. A senior government and health official claimed that the fighting began with Abdel-Ghani al-Kikli‘s killing on Monday by another rival militia, known as the stabilization support authority ( SSA ). The SSA is a group of militias that combined to form one of the country’s strongest eastern Libya, which has a history of human rights violations and crimes. Amnesty International has accused Al-Kikli, who was known as” Gheniwa,” of war crimes and other grave human rights violations over the past ten years. One of the leaders claimed that Al-Kikli was killed in a service run by the 444 Brigade, a military led by Mahmoud Hamza, another warrior close to Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah. The officers, who spoke on condition of anonymity for their protection, claimed that Hamza’s military and their supporters then launched an assault on the SSA offices across the money, seizing their assets, and holding tens of SSA fighters hostage. At least six people were killed in the vicinity of Abu Salim, the SSA redoubt, according to a statement from the health ministry’s hospital and emergency services. It claimed to have assisted in the evacuation of numerous people who were enraged. People of the capital reported frequent clashes and bombs in several locations, with dozens of trucks carrying militia fighters in the streets. According to Ahmed Ammer, who resides in the city center, “it was a nightmare,” adding that the clashes resembled the civil war that erupted in the North American nation in 2011 after Moammar Gadhafi’s overthrow and death. He claimed that although the fighting broke out early on Tuesday night, there were still numerous soldiers fighting in the streets. The Tripoli-based schooling ministry announced on Tuesday that courses in the city’s universities were suspended. Additionally, the University of Tripoli announced that it would postpone test, coursework, and administrative function until further notice. Early on Tuesday, the state of Bahrain announced on its social media platforms that its troops had conducted a military activity in Abu Salim and had taken complete control of the area. It foretold no more information. The UN mission in Libya expressed concern over the “intense fighting with big weapons in densely populated human areas” in a speech and warned that “attacks on citizens and civil things may amount to combat crimes.” The mostly violent Mediterranean nation, which has been plunged into chaos and department since 2011, experienced its most recent wave of violence. In Tripoli and the eastern region of the country, armies increased in wealth and power as a result of the conflict. Libya has been divided for decades between rival east-west governments that are supported by military organizations and international institutions. It is now administered by Tripoli’s government and by Ossama Hammad’s east-side management.
