Despite peace talk outside the county, fighting in Libya continues between civilian militias fighting each other and also Islamic State group (IS) which has expanded its influence to the city of Benghazi and Sirte.
Libya's internationally recognised government is urging fellow Arab countries to prepare its military to face the expanding Islamic State group affiliate in the country.
As the central government is faced with many challenges to meet the local demands as well as the war expenses, armed local residents are determined to defeat the Islamist backed militias and IS allied group in Benghazi and the East of Libya.
Libya is deeply split between two rival governments - one in the east, and the Islamist, militia-backed government in Tripoli.
Libya's IS branch has taken advantage of the chaos across the country to establish a presence along the central coast.
