A long ceasefire has brought life back to Tripoli's Algeria Square, its roundabout replanted with grass and customers lingering into the night at the Aurora Cafe, but Libya's new crisis of two governments threatens to upend that peace.
Ahmed ElumamiTRIPOLI - A long ceasefire has brought life back to Tripoli's Algeria Square, its roundabout replanted with grass and customers lingering into the night at the Aurora Cafe, but Libya's new crisis of two governments threatens to upend that peace.
The increased number of security vehicles racing through the capital's streets are a sign of a crisis that could trigger fighting if no deal can be reached. The incumbent prime minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah, installed a year ago in a U.N.-backed process, has denounced the parliament's appointment of Fathi Bashagha to replace him and says he will only quit after a rescheduled election.
The bursts of gunfire that occasionally punctuate the daily growl of traffic are still only those of wedding celebrations or armed men showing off to friends.
