Libya’s capital, Tripoli was ranked among the least liveable cities in the world, according to a study published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) on Saturday.

At least 55 people were reported killed and over 100 injured - including civilians - in fighting between the Deterrence Apparatus for Combatting Organized Crime and Terrorism (DACOT) and the 444 Brigade, on 14 and 15 August, the head of the UN political mission in Libya, UNSMIL, told the Security Council.

The capital and largest city of Libya is Tripoli. The name is from the Greek and means “three cities.” About the 7th century bc the Phoenicians founded their colony of Carthage and built three cities in this region of North Africa: Oea (now Tripoli), Leptis Magna, and Sabratah. In Roman times the area was called Tripolitania. During invasions by the Vandals, the walls of Leptis and Sabratah were destroyed, but Tripoli continued to prosper.

Algerian authorities have intensified their repression of freedoms of expression, the press, association, assembly, and movement, as part of their continued efforts to crush organized contestation.
They have dissolved major civil society organizations, suspended opposition political parties and independent media outlets, and continued to use restrictive legislation to prosecute—including on dubious charges of terrorism and receiving funding to harm state security—human rights defenders, activists, journalists, and lawyers, pushing some of them to flee into exile.
