Libya's Ministry of Interior on Wednesday approved a new cease-fire agreement in the capital Tripoli, Xinhua reported.
The new agreement, approved by Minister of Interior Abdussalam Ashour, was signed between the cities of Tripoli and Tarhona, in order to "stabilize the cease-fire agreement signed in Zawiya City," the ministry said in a statement.
The agreement requires the warring parties not to attack public or private properties and refrains them from inciting violence.
According to the statement, a joint military force will be formed to secure southern Tripoli, while withdrawal of armed groups from conflict areas should be overseen by the tribal mediators.
Libya has been suffering insecurity and escalating violence since the fall of former leader Muammar Gaddafi's regime in 2011.
Since Aug. 26, violent clashes erupted between forces allied with the UN-backed government and armed militias in the capital Tripoli, causing hundreds of casualties.
Earlier in September, a UN-brokered agreement was signed in the western city of Zawiya, some 45 km west of Tripoli, to end the violence in the capital. However, the agreement was violated and the fighting continued.
