Libya Militias Clash In Longest Sustained Fighting Since Qaddafi's Fall -- Christian Science MonitorIn Libya, militia clashes around Tripoli and elsewhere are hindering government attempts to build democratic structures and civil society.
Libya's efforts at building a government and civil society after more than 40 years of autocratic rule are being hindered by clashes between rival militias, still armed from the violent rebellion that ousted former leader Muammar Qaddafi.
Militias from the town of Zawiya and the tribal area of Warshefana, both in the vicinity of Tripoli, have clashed for the past four days – the longest sustained fighting since Mr. Qaddafi's fall last month.
