Background
The Abu Salim Martyrs Brigade was created by former Libyan Islamic Fighting Group member Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi.[2] Following the Libyan Civil War, the brigade was taken over by Salim Derby.[3]
In 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Libya took over much of Derna. Abu Salim and ISIL repeatedly clashed in the following months in disputes over power and resources.[1] Derby was killed in fighting with ISIL militants in June 2015.[1]

gollark: And I wouldn't use PHP for it because PHP bad.
gollark: Yes, I could track *some* data on the serverside - a little information on pages and whatnot - but:- that would break in offline mode- a lot of the stuff needs information only available on the client- more work
gollark: I have to have it reasonably unobfuscated for the achievement handling hooks in Emu War and whatnot to work.
