Warring militias fight for Libya’s capital

Fighting between rival militias has continued to rage in Libya’s capital forcing thousands to flee the country and prompting a number of embassies and international companies to evacuate their staff.

The violence comes less than a week before the UN sends a special envoy to help broker a ceasefire – a move that thousands of Libyans have protested against, calling it foreign intervention.
