The United Nations has called for urgent de-escalation in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, as rival gunmen exchanged fire in the city’s southern districts after the killing of a powerful militia leader, prompting authorities to impose an emergency lockdown warning.

Residents reported hearing heavy gunfire and explosions across multiple neighbourhoods from about 9pm local time (19:00 GMT), according to journalists on the ground.

      I do of course have answers to those questions. They might even be answers you would be satisfied with. But I’m not sure I really want to answer if you’re going to be so aggressive about responding. Feel free to use your imagination and assume the worst of me, I’m sure it will be very productive. Maybe consider cooling your rhetoric a few degrees.
