DW: EU urges end to Libya violence as death toll soars
Fighting between rival militias in Tripoli has left more than 100 people dead since late August despite a UN-backed ceasefire. The EU has warned that those violating a fragile ceasefire "will face consequences."
The EU delegation in Libya on Saturday urged warring militias fighting in the capital Tripoli to end the latest escalation of violence, saying it "has caused civilian fatalities."
