Serraj government confirm handover of Tripoli port security from Nawasi militia
2018-10-07
[LibyaHerald] Libya’s Ministry of Interior, aligned to the internationally recognised Libyan Presidency Council and Government of National Accord led by Faiez Serraj, announced yesterday that it had taken over the security of Tripoli

port.

The announcement follows on from the announcement last Tuesday (2 October) by Mustafa Gadur, commander of one of Tripoli’s main militias, the 8th Force, more commonly referred to as the Nawasi brigade, to hand in his written resignation as commander of the force guarding Tripoli port.
One of the Tripoli militias, the pro-Islamist Nawasi brigade has fought to support the interior ministry of the internationally recognized government in Tripoli, so this appears to be an internal move.
