Clashes rocked Libya’s capital early on Tuesday as the parliament-appointed Prime Minister, Fathi Bashagha, tried to take over the government…

The crisis risks plunging Libya back into prolonged fighting after two years of comparative peace or returning it to partition between the eastern-backed government of Bashagha and a Tripoli administration under Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah. He said he had entered Tripoli without an armed escort but had been attacked by fighters allied to Dbeibah. Dbeibah accused Bashagha of entering Tripoli with fighters as “an outlawed armed group trying to sneak into the capital under darkness”.

That may prolong the shutdown of major oil facilities by forces in eastern Libya tied to commander Khalifa Haftar, who backs Bashagha. The unity government’s prime minister Dbeibah rejected the parliament’s moves, saying his administration was still valid and he would only hand over power after an election.
