Libya on Edge: UN Calls for De-Escalation Amid Rising Tensions in Tripoli

TRIPOLI DISTRICT, LIBYA, JUL 8 – The United Nations urged all Libyan parties to avoid actions that could escalate conflict and called for withdrawal of recently deployed forces in Tripoli, citing civilian protection concerns.

  • On July 9, 2025, the United Nations called for restraint as military activities intensified in and near Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
  • This appeal follows clashes in May between government forces and militias triggered by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh’s order to dismantle irregular armed groups.
  • The United Nations mission in Libya condemned recent militia build-ups, called for the withdrawal of troops recently stationed in Tripoli, and reaffirmed its endorsement of the security measures established under the 2020 ceasefire agreement.
  • UNSMIL emphasized that individuals who carry out attacks targeting civilians will face consequences and cautioned against language that might provoke further violence.
  • The appeal underscores persistent political divisions and fragile peace since Gaddafi’s fall in 2011, signaling that dialogue remains the only sustainable path forward in Libya.
