Libya: Stability Restored in Sorman and Zawia
The Libyan "Unity" Government faced a major security challenge in the towns of Sorman and Zawiya west of Tripoli, where intense armed clashes erupted between militias and armed factions, including "Kataeb Al-Silah" (The Arms Battalion), forces from the "Security Threats Response Apparatus," as well as the Muhannad Swaisi militia. The fighting lasted for four hours and involved the use of medium and heavy weaponry, with drone aircraft entering the operation, leading to casualties and creating a state of fear among residents. Swaisi and Bahroun's forces managed to control southern Sorman and the headquarters of the Stabilization Support Militia, imposing widespread military deployments within the city. Additionally, inmates from Sorman Prison were evacuated due to the deteriorating security situation. The clashes resulted in the suspension of activities, the declaration of a state of emergency, and calls for calm and civilian protection, amid fears of further escalation that could threaten vital infrastructure in the region.
