Dozens Killed In Tripoli Suburb Under Siege -- US News and World Report/Al-Monitor
A coalition of Libyan militias has imposed a siege on a suburb of Tripoli controlled by the Warshefana tribe.
On the outskirts of Libya's capital, Tripoli, the residents of an area known as Warshefana are surrounded on all sides by armed militias who, in addition to attacking built-up areas, have imposed what amounts to a siege, blocking the entry of food and medicine.
The fighters form part of a militia coalition that took effective control of Tripoli two weeks ago. They have been heavily shelling Warshefana from their surrounding positions for the last week and have so far killed more than 70 residents, including at least 12 children. An additional 140 are believed to be injured.

James do you have time for the questions now and if no where will you post them? Also its fighting in Ukraine again, it looks like the ceasefire is collapsing slowly but surely. Also did some exhercise today, it worked very well, almost half a mile, high speed walking and some, sit ups, push ups and plank.
Sorry Rhaegar,
Somethings come up that I must attend to and I wouldn't be able to do justice to your questions at the moment. I will as soon as I can. Here's something for you to think about while I take care of business. Of the pro Ukrainian groups you listed which two have the most armed forces nearest to Kiev and which two have the most political connections to government officials in Kiev?
Ok i, hope it goes well, god luck :) Also very good questions, thank you for askimg them, i need to make a list of them sometime so I can have it as a info report if it's called that. But to the answers:
The first one is Right Sector, wich have many political connections. They have headquarters in Kiev and was in the Maidan demonstrations from the start as nationalists. Also for some weeks ago their leader threatened to march on Kiev if some of the members who were in prison diden't get relashed, Poroshenko complied, so I think they are a important factor on the pro Ukrainian side with some influence over other groups, I guess the Azov battalion but I may be wrong.
The other one is eighter the Ukrainian army or the Aidar battalion. But i have little intel about the Aidar battalion, but I know some of the members were in the Maidan demonstrations as self defence forces. They don't have a headquarter. Or it is the Ukrainian army who have headquarters in Kiev and who has Poroshenko as commander. The military have connections to both sides Russia and Ukraine.
