Fighting between Islamist militias and pro-government forces continued in Tripoli and in Benghazi, where a Salafist cleric who commands an Operation Dignity unit was shot and wounded yesterday. An estimated 43,500 Tripoli residents have been displaced by the fighting, and over 100,000 Libyans fled into Tunisia in July. The Grand Mufti, Sheikh Sadik Al-Ghariani, who has spent the last three months in London, stated that the Islamist Libya Dawn coalition is to be supported and the pro-government Operation Dignity forces and Zintani militias are to be opposed.
