A special committee formed by the Tripoli Central Municipal Council has warned that the capital remains under serious threat as efforts to secure a ceasefire have yet to produce binding commitments from armed groups.
In a statement, the Committee for Communication said it had engaged with the Prime Minister, the General Staff and relevant armed factions following the clashes that shook Tripoli on 12–13 May. The fighting caused significant damage to public and private property and endangered civilian lives.
While praising the cooperation of national leaders and stakeholders, the Committee said that despite widespread understanding of the urgency for de-escalation, no formal guarantees or clear commitments had been received to halt the violence.
Several initiatives have been launched, including the establishment of a conflict resolution panel, the Committee said. But it added that these efforts must be backed by concrete political and military support if the capital is to be spared further bloodshed.
The Committee concluded by calling for intensified efforts to maintain dialogue with all parties and to protect the lives and interests of Tripoli’s residents.
