Zintan and Al-Rajban signed Tuesday a ceasefire agreement with Al-Zawiya to put an end for the ongoing bloodshed and to withdraw fighters back to their cities’ boundaries as well as to stop identity-based arrests and open the blocked roads to guarantee the safety of movement to and fro Tripoli.
The ceasefire obliges both parties to support the army and police institutions and to disallow others to use their cities as a basis for launching attacks on one another, knowing that there would be a specialized committee, which will keep an eye on any violations of the ceasefire agreement and supervise the return of fighters back to their cities.
However, Al-Zawiya institutions of civil society, revolutionaries and joint operations room have rejected this ceasefire agreement saying that the Social Council, which signed the ceasefire, is not illegitimate and does not represent Al-Zawiya city, stressing that such agreements require official presence of all of the city’s components, such as the elders' council and revolutionaries, which didn't happen.
