ONE of Libya’s rival prime ministers warned today that his government would not tolerate any further militia fighting, days after the year’s bloodiest bout of clashes rocked the capital.

At least 45 people died in Tripoli on Monday after violence broke out between militiamen from the 444 brigade and its rival, the Special Deterrence Force.

The warning from Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, who heads the Tripoli-based government, came as Mr Hamza was released and returned to his militia’s headquarters.
