Tripoli clashes (aug 20, 1984 – jan 1, 1985)
Description:
In August 1984, violent clashes erupted between the Tawheed and the ADP, with the former been supported by the Mosques Committee and the Islamic Committee. The Tawheed’s position was strengthened when they gained control of the port area on 22 August, after a fierce battle on the streets of Tripoli that left more than 400 dead. Street fighting dragged on for some days until 18 September, when it was brought to an end by a Syrian-mediated peace agreement between the IUM and the ADP.[33] By 1985, Tawhid had control over Tripoli, and the ADP was entrenched in Jabal Mohsen.
