Hundreds of people carrying Libyan flags and banners with the symbol of the government participated in the demonstration held in Martyrs Square upon the call of various non-governmental organizations in Tripoli. It was seen that security forces took intense measures in and around Martyrs Square. The demonstrators chanted ‘The people want the fall of the House of Representatives’ and ‘No to military rule’ and carried banners reading ‘No to militias, yes to the state’, ‘No to military rule’ and ‘We support the Government of National Unity’. Tensions escalated after the killing of a militia leader from the Stability Support Apparatus on May 12, triggering armed confrontations. The Defense Ministry’s 444th Brigade later took control of the militia’s headquarters in Abu Salim. On May 14, clashes broke out between government forces and the Rada militia, one of Tripoli’s most powerful armed groups. The Defense Ministry announced a ceasefire later that day to protect civilians. According to Tripoli Municipality Health Officer Muhammad Abdulwahab, the fighting left six dead and 70 wounded over two days.
