Libya’s UN-backed government regains full control of Tripoli
After capturing the city's airport, the Government of National Accord in Libya says it has regained full control of Tripoli.
Forces loyal to Libya’s internationally recognized government said Thursday they had fully recaptured the capital city of Tripoli after more than a year of fighting with renegade commander Khalifa Hifter.
"Our heroic forces have full control of Greater Tripoli right up to the city limits," said Mohammed Gnounou, a spokesperson for the Government of National Accord (GNA).
