UN officials are once again expressing hope that fighting which has raged in the Libyan capital of Tripoli over the past two weeks is over, with the announcement of a new ceasefire between the UN-backed “unity” government and a militia. The two sides have been fighting through several ceasefires in that time, and has centered on southern Tripoli. At least 61 have been killed in the fighting, including a large number of civilians, with another 159 wounded.

Hmm…
Is this true. Seems to be close enough!
Five months into the year, more than 1,000 people have been shot in Chicago and there have been more than 200 homicides, according to data kept by the Tribune. As of early Monday at least 1,071 people have been shot this year, below the last two years when violence hit record levels in the city but well above other recent years. There have been at least 202 homicides, the data shows. Chicago crossed the 1,000 mark after the long Memorial Day weekend, when seven people were killed and 32 were wounded by gunfire.

Just two weeks in Tripoli? (Actually endless in Libya, due to USA involvement.) …. (Yet) Endless in Chicago? (Also) Each city is a war zone! (Yes?)
Looks like a cease fire is needed in Chicago?
This is just one American city; How about others in the same boat?
UN officials are once again expressing hope that fighting which has raged in the Illinois capital of Chicago over the past several years, with the expected announcement of a new ceasefire between the UN-backed “Pro American” government and a inner-city militia…
Interesting thought…
Yes, Chicago and many US cites are a war zone according to technicalities that enforce said behavior…
