Tripoli 13.10.2016

The Libyan capital, Tripoli, is living an unprecedented state of violence and insecurity. The level of crime has increased and we cannot count the number of crimes committed by armed men against the state symbols like the civilians. Faced with this violence, the Government of National Unity (GNA) seems more than ever, impotent.

Since its arrival late March in Tripoli GNA has not managed to drive the militia from the capital who continue to do their acts on the streets of Tripoli. This government is itself a victim of these militias Islamist majority. Some armed groups who were put in charge of ensuring the safety of members of the Government no longer do.

The deteriorating situation is unprecedented. It is no longer limited to clashes between militias seeking to have the power. Since early October, the armed robberies are now in the street, kidnappings and assassinations in broad daylight. In addition, abandoned lifeless bodies were thrown to the street corner in the capital. The Tripoli Central Hospital received 34 unidentified bodies in less than a month.

The military, police, employees in administration are the most targeted. But this kind of attack is not limited to the symbols of the state, it always affects civilians. On Wednesday, the civil registry office in Tripoli Municipality was closed. An armed attack was targeted on Tuesday. Its director was killed and several injured employees. They were all present at the workplace during the attack.
