Thus you will not be surprised to hear that in spite of western efforts to stabilise Libya, fighting between the factions in the civil war is escalating once more after a lull.
Middle eastern and north African news agencies report that clashes between tribalists, ISIS affiliated groups and a western backed group claiming to be the legitimate government are continuing for the second day among heavily-armed militias in the Libyan capital, with one dislodging another in at least two posts, a five-star hotel and a barracks.
Competing militias have established power centres in Tripoli after longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's ruler for 42 years, was ousted by a bombing campaign engineered by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, leaving behind a power vacuum as there was no organised opposition ready to take over. As usual the arrogant idiot Obama, a friend of extremist Sunni Muslim regimes in the middle east, assumed that Libyans would accept him as leader of the free world and fall into line with his wishes.
Most of Obama's political training had been gained in the gay bath houses of Chicago. He had no experience of the real world and of how communities interact in trouble in the spots of Africa and the middle east.
This is the worst outbreak of violence in the capital in two years, though there has been heavy fighting in the east of the country around Benghazi and in the sparsely populated south where ISIS have their main strength.
Witnesses in Tripoli told reporters that gun battles rocked the southeastern Nasr Forest district and adjacent neighbourhoods. The lastest spate of clashes started on Thursday and have reportedly killed at least eight, according to news agency LANA. During a lull in the violence late on Thursday night, panicked residents could be seen lining up outside petrol stations to stock up on fuel. In a statement Friday, UN envoy to Libya Martin Kobler called for halt to the fighting, saying he is "extremely alarmed". He ought to be, a previous US envoy in Libya was anally raped and beaten to death by a mob after Obama refused to send help. Kobler will have to hope Donald Trump displays more testicular fortitude in dealing with Islamic brutality against westerners.
"It's completely unacceptable for armed groups to fight to assert their interest and control, particularly in residential areas, terrorising the population," Kobler said.
The UN-backed (and predictably ineffectual) unity government said that a ceasefire agreement has been reached among warring militias but revealed no further details. Given the fluidity of the situation, it remains to be seen whether the victors of the clashes will back the internationally-recognised body.
"This is a struggle over power. Each of the warring parties has its political and ideological agendas," said Sami al-Atrash, a Tripoli resident and a legal expert. "The clashes are belated. They were expected at any moment and finally happened," he said.
