Islamic State pushed out of key Libyan city of Derna April 22, 2016 - 12:48 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Militants from so-called Islamic State (IS) have been pushed out of the key eastern city of Derna, a rival Islamist group has said, according to Reuters. IS "have all left Derna - they have no presence here anymore", Hafeth al-Dabaa, a spokesman for Derna Mujahideen Shura Council (DMSC), told the BBC. The al-Qaeda linked DMSC is an umbrella group for local militias. Derna has seen a three-way conflict between IS, DMSC and forces loyal to Libya's eastern government. Since 2014, Libya has had two competing governments - one in the capital Tripoli, and another in the eastern city of Tobruk. A new UN-brokered unity government is trying to restore peace in the country, which has been ravaged by conflict since the fall of Col Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
