Clashes between Libya’s Shield and Gen. Hafter’s loyalists continued with a bloody confrontation at a Benghazi port and an air strike at the Ansar al-Sharia base in Derna. On Saturday June 22, Hafter issued a 48 hour ultimatum for all Turkish and Qatari citizens in eastern Libya to leave or face arrest by his loyalists. To the south, around eight people were killed in revenge clashes between the Qadadfa tribe and the Awlad Suleiman tribe. Politically, Ali Zeidan, former PM, who fled the country in March returned to Libya early last week through Beida, near Benghazi, but his return was overshadowed by the news of the US snatch operation of Ali Ahmed Bukhatallah, whom Washington accuses of involvement in the killing of Christopher Stevens, its former ambassador to Libya. In Tripoli, preparations are under way to hold parliamentary elections on 25 June, with elections for Libyan abroad having started over the weekend. It is worth mentioning that one third of Libyan (around 2 million) are living abroad with the vast majority (over 1.5 million) in Tunisia.
