#Libya's eastern parliament-appointed Prime Minister Fathi Bashagha has retreated from Tripoli after an attempt to enter the capital triggered clashes, his office confirmed.

Violence erupted after Mr Bashagha arrived in Tripoli early on Tuesday, amid a stalemate over control of the capital, where a rival administration led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibah has refused to step down.

Unverified video clips posted online showed fighters in areas of central Tripoli and around the port with the sound of automatic gunfire.

In a statement carried by local media, Mr Dbeibah said his government would “strike with an iron first anyone who harms the security and safety of the citizen”.

Libya had been split between rival eastern and western factions since 2014, before a 2020 truce brought it under a fragile united government.

A plan to hold an election in December collapsed amid arguments among major factions and prominent candidates.

The dispute involved rules governing the elections and the legitimacy of the parliament.
