Libyan students arrive at the al-Bashayer school in the eastern coastal city of Benghazi on December 13, 2015, as they come back to school for the first time since August 2014 when Islamist-backed militias seized Tripoli, prompting the internationally recognised government to take refuge in the far east of the country. The school is located about half kilometre away from the al-Zawiyah neighbourhood where daily clashes oppose forces loyal to Libya's recognised government and extremist militant groups.
