SitiWanMahani - Pegawai Libya berkata, 32 orang telah terbunuh dan
hampir 400 cedera dalam pertempuran di Tripoli antara militia dan penunjuk
perasaan. Keganasan menonjolkan ketidakupayaan kerajaan untuk mengawal
kumpulan-kumpulan bersenjata yang membantu menggulingkan Muammar Gaddafi 2
tahun lalu, tetapi masih menyimpan senjata mereka.
Penunjuk perasaan berkata bahawa ahli-ahli militia
Misrata telah melepaskan tembakan ke atas mereka, kerana mereka berarak ke arah
ibu pejabat mereka untuk menuntut mereka meninggalkan bandar.
Mesingan dan bom tangan roket dilaporkan melepaskan
tembakan ke arah orang ramai. Para penunjuk perasaan melarikan diri apabila
tembakan dilepaskan, tetapi beberapa kembali bersenjata. Pihak berkuasa Libya
sedang berjuang untuk mengandungi pelbagai militia yang menguasai banyak
bahagian di negara ini.
Libya:
dozens killed in clashes with militia
Libyan officials said 32 people had been killed and
almost 400 wounded in clashes in Tripoli between militiamen and protesters. The
violence highlights the government's inability to control the armed groups that
helped overthrow Muammar Gaddafi two years ago, but kept their guns.
Demonstrators said that members of the Misrata
militia had opened fire on them, as they marched towards their headquarters to
demand they leave the city.
Machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades were
reportedly fired into the crowd. The protesters fled when the shots were fired,
but some returned heavily armed. The Libyan authorities are struggling to
contain numerous militias who control many parts of the country.
