At least 70 people died in violent clashes in Libya since the 16 May 2014. Rival militias fought in Benghazi and Tripoli and armed rebel forces under general Khalifa Hiftar challenged the transitional government. The country was on the verge of civil war, commentators warned, and accused the West of exacerbating the situation through its inactivity since the fall of Gaddafi.
