Member of the Libyan Parliament, Aisha Al-Tablaki, has raised serious concerns over the fragile security situation in the capital, Tripoli, warning that the current ceasefire could collapse at any moment if growing tensions are not urgently addressed.
Her remarks reflect the anxiety shared by many observers about the apparent calm that has followed recent armed clashes between rival groups in the city.
In a statement to local media, Al-Tablaki cautioned that the surface-level calm should not be mistaken for stability. “What we are witnessing now is not peace,” she said. “It is a temporary halt—a fragile pause that may soon give way to another wave of violence.”
Al-Tablaki highlighted the continuing presence of tension across various districts of the capital and pointed to ongoing political gridlock as a major contributor to the volatility. She warned that any sudden flare-up could have devastating consequences for civilians, public infrastructure, and essential services already weakened by years of conflict.
According to the MP, civilians and both public and private institutions continue to bear the brunt of these recurring outbreaks of violence. “Ordinary citizens are the ones who pay the highest price,” she said. “Their safety, livelihoods, and access to services are constantly threatened.”
She urged national leaders to act with urgency and responsibility, calling for collective political will to stabilize the capital and move the country closer to long-term peace. Al-Tablaki emphasized the need for inclusive political dialogue and meaningful reforms that address the root causes of Libya’s security and governance challenges.
Her warning comes just days after local and international officials reiterated the importance of maintaining the ceasefire and implementing security arrangements to prevent a return to open conflict in Tripoli.
