A months-long standoff for power in Libya has pitted the Tripoli-based Government of National Unity (GNU) under Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah against a rival administration under Fathi Bashagha that is backed by the eastern-based parliament.

Clashes erupted overnight as one of Tripoli's main groups assaulted a base held by another, witnesses there said, leading to hours of shooting and blasts.

The fighting intensified later on Saturday morning, with small-arms fire, heavy machine guns and mortars deployed in different central areas. Columns of black smoke rose across the Tripoli skyline and shooting and blasts echoed in the air.

Into this mix is Egypt. Where is Europe in all this mess? I predict Lybia will be cut in two soon. One half to Russo-Egypt, the Other to France-Turkey.

Remember when in the congressional hearing, Rand Paul asked Hillary if they were moving arms through Turkey into Syria? Her answer was a QUESTION - as they all learn to do:

“To Syria? You’d have to ask the agency about that.” She could always say she didn’t lie as she avoided answering directly.

But then being accused of lying is like water off a duck’s back - doesn’t penetrate at all...
