Warring parties sign ceasefire agreement in Libyan capital
[Libya Observer] Bani Walid social council brokered Monday at Bab Albahr Hotel a ceasefire agreement between Supreme Council of Reconciliation of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
and Tarhouna Elders Council to end festivities in southern Tripoli.

The signatories told news hounds in a presser earlier that the agreement says an immediate ceasefire must take effect, and all fighting groups must withdraw 15 kilometers away from their current positions so that the area from Fam Mulgha checkpoint in Tarhouna to southern Tripoli is secured by security departments in each of the districts and towns.

"We disown all criminals and runaways who are wanted by both sides, we will exchange bodies and captives and resolve the displaced civilians' issues and then we will form a committee to oversee the ceasefire implementation." The agreement reads.

In the meantime, identical sources reported that during the ceasefire signing, there were festivities in Souq al-Khamis Emsehel district and both parties exchanged accusations of violating the truce.

Fighting erupted last Wednesday in southern Tripoli after a similar one took the lives of over 100 people in last August and September.
