Libyan Interior Minister Fawzi Abdelali told journalists on Tuesday that the government is trying to impose a ceasefire and both sides are being asked to use restraint.
“The interior ministry has sent a force of 200 men towards the region,” Abdelali said.
The clashes follow tribal fighting in the southern city of Sabha, which killed 147 people and wounded 395 more in a week, before the government brokered a ceasefire.
The area in and around Zuwarah has been particularly volatile since the collapse of slain leader Col Muammar Gaddafi’s regime last October. Since then the government has struggled to gain authority over brigades of former rebels who fought against Gaddafi’s forces but now act autonomously.
