TRIPOLI, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- The UN-backed government of Libya on Sunday accused the rival eastern-based army of breaching the cease-fire in southern Tripoli.
The eastern-based army breached cease-fire in Salah Addin and Wadi al-Rabee in southern Tripoli minutes after the cease-fire took effect, the UN-backed government said in a statement.
The GNA called on the brokers of the cease-fire to prevent such violations, the statement said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Wednesday called on the Libyan rival parties to establish an immediate cease-fire and to stop all hostilities.
The Tripoli-based UN-backed government welcomed the Turkish-Russian call. On Saturday, the eastern-based army announced cease-fire.
