Calm has returned in some neighborhoods of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, which had been the scene of clashes between the member units of the Special Deterrence Forces (RADA) and the 444 Brigade. The clashes, which also spread to the streets of Ain Zara and Salah Al-Din neighborhoods, ended shortly before an agreement was reached on the withdrawal of all military vehicles and armored vehicles of the two armed groups. The violence reportedly broken out after tensions between the two sides, against the backdrop of the kidnapping of one of the leaders of the 444th Brigade yesterday morning near the port of Tripoli.
