Tripoli Engulfed in Renewed Fighting as Government Forces Clash with Militias

The immediate trigger for this upsurge in violence can be traced back to the killing of Abdel Ghani al-Kikli, also known as "Gnewa," a prominent militia leader. Al-Kikli, who headed the Stabilisation Support Apparatus (SSA), an armed group operating under the authority of the Presidency Council, was reportedly killed during a meeting with commanders of defence ministry-linked forces in Tripoli on Monday.
