Image: Reuters Foreign mercenaries remain entrenched on both sides of the heavily fortified front line, despite international calls for the warring sides to pull them from the country.
Armed groups in Tripoli on Friday stormed a hotel where Libya’s new Presidency Council meets, the council’s spokesperson said in a social media post, underscoring the continued risks to the unity government.
Unverified images on social media showed armed, uniformed men standing at the entrance to the Corinthia Hotel, but Presidency Council spokesperson Najwa Wahiba said nobody from the council was in the building.
The groups have voiced anger at the Government of National Unity’s Foreign Minister, Najla el-Mangoush.
