Newsdeck: Tripoli Government's Counterattack Promise Lifts Oil Jitters By Bloomberg
The operation, dubbed “Volcano of Anger,” seeks to “cleanse all Libyan cities of the aggressors,” the Government of National Accord’s military spokesman, Mohamed al-Qonuni, said in a brief televised statement.
The fighting on Tripoli’s outskirts continued on Saturday despite global pleas for calm. At least 35 people have been killed in the clashes since Wednesday, according to figures from the Government of National Accord and the LNA. The escalating rhetoric seems poised to deepen the chaos that has engulfed Libya in the eight years since Moammar Al Qaddafi was toppled and killed.
