Libya crisis: Fighting near Tripoli leaves 21 dead

Libya's UN-backed government says 21 people have been killed and 27 wounded in fighting near the capital, Tripoli.

Earlier the UN called for a two-hour truce so casualties and civilians could be evacuated, but it was unclear if there was any lull.

Rebel forces under Gen Khalifa Haftar have advanced from the east with the aim of taking Tripoli.

Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj has accused him of attempting a coup and says rebels will be met with force.

The numbers are bound to go up; sounds like some fierce fighting.

Sometimes, I wonder why all of this is coming to head in our lifetimes and, surely, 20 years from now, it might be quite a bit more intense.

Looking back on at least my childhood, I can't speak for anyone else,  I didn't see this stuff going on... oh, I guess it did to an extent, we saw Israel engaged in war and the Suez canal apparently got shut down. I mean, there definitely has been trouble. But it seems more apparent now. Maybe we get better news coverage now, the net. I don't know.
