Libyan PM visits scene of tribal clashes in desert
By REUTERS
SABHA - Libya's prime minister flew in to a desert oasis city on Sunday to try to patch up a tribal dispute that has killed about 150 people over the past week and underscored the ethnic fault-lines threatening Libya's stability.A Reuters team which flew with the prime minister to Sabha, about 750 km south of the Libyan capital, said a ceasefire appeared to be holding between the Tibu ethnic group and the Sabha militias with which they had been clashing.Smashed windows at a conference center and burned-out vehicles in a Tibu-controlled neighborhood, bore testimony to the fighting over the past days, some of the worst since a revolt last year ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.Asked about the situation in Sabha, Prime Minister Abdurrahim El-Keib told Reuters: "It's much better than I thought."
