The United Nations speaks on the rival militia fractions

The United Nations says the rival militia fractions that have been fighting in Libya’s capital Tripoli for the past week have agreed a ceasefire.

According to officials, at least 47 people have been killed and 1,800 families internally displaced by the violence.

Last week a ceasefire deal announced by officials by officials from western cities only held for a few hours in which the UN-backed government is nominally in power in the capital, but militias occupy much of the rest of the country.
