Libya’s Tripoli-based government said on Thursday it has recaptured the Yarmuk military camp south of the capital from forces led by Commander Khalifa Haftar.
"It's still time for a ceasefire to take place, for a cessation of hostilities to take place, and to avoid the worst, which would be a dramatic bloody battle for Tripoli."Forces led by Commander Khalifa Haftar claimed to have captured Libya’s Yarmuk military camp, south of the capital Tripoli, from the UN-backed government.
The UN postponed a Libyan national conference aimed at drawing up an election roadmap because of fighting raging near the capital, in another setback to peace efforts. Thousands have fled violence in the capital city, according to the United Nations, since Haftar launched a surprise assault last week which has left dozens dead.
