By contrast, militias in western Libya, or Tripolitania, tend to emerge in individual cities, with the most powerful brigades based in Misrata and Zintan. These groups want to join the security services as units, rather than as individual fighters, in order to retain their communal bonds and, in turn, to prevent their full integration into a national army.
相反，利比亚西部民兵的黎波里塔尼亚（Tripolitania）往往组建于某座城市，其中最有战斗力的部队驻扎在米苏拉塔和津坦等地。这些团体希望成建制而非以个人为单位加入政府安全部队，以保护他们的集体联系，并借此防止被国家军队完全同化。
