STORYLINE:

The Arab League (AL) on Wednesday voiced deep concerns over the armed clashes in the Libyan capital of Tripoli that have killed 27.
 
In a statement, the AL called for an immediate cessation of the violence that ravaged the relative stability in the city in the past months and urged all Libyan authorities to take necessary measures to restore stability.
 
"The recent clashes reaffirmed the importance of unifying the state institutions swiftly and completing the transitional period via elections soon," it added.
 
The Medical Emergency Department of the Libyan Ministry of Health on Tuesday said that 27 people have been killed and more than 100 others injured in clashes that erupted in the capital Tripoli Monday night.
 
The department said that more than 234 families have been evacuated from clash areas and that three emergency field hospitals were set up to treat the wounded.
 
Libya has witnessed violence and insecurity since the fall of the late leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
