Baku-APA. Libyan officials say 22 people have been killed in clashes between Arab and ethnic Berber tribal fighters from two rival western towns despite attempts to broker a cease-fire, APA reports AP.
The fighting erupted over the weekend between the Arab-majority town of Ragdalein and the Berber-dominated town of Zwara. The neighboring towns are located about 110 kilometers (70 miles) from the capital Tripoli.
Local Ragdalein official Rami Kaanan says 17 fighters and town residents have been killed in fighting on Tuesday, including two women and one infant.
Zwara spokesman Adel Kashbour says five people from his side have been killed and 49 wounded.
Their clashes are the latest in a series of local rivalries that threaten to divide Libya along tribal and regional lines.
