TOPSHOT-LIBYA-CONFLICT

TOPSHOT - Fighters loyal to the internationally-recognised Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) hold a weapon while keeping position in the al-Sawani area south of the Libyan capital Tripoli during clashes with forces loyal to strongman Khalifa Haftar, on June 19, 2019. Despite a UN embargo, weapons are still flowing into Libya where an assault on the capital by Haftar threatens to escalate into a proxy war between regional powers. Haftar, whose self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA) is allied with an administration in eastern Libya, is supported especially by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The fighting since early April has killed 653 people, including 41 civilians, and wounded more than 3,500 -- of which some 100 are non-combatants -- according to the last count by the World Health Organisation.
