LAST UPDATE: 10.54
The Libyan government appointed by the parliament headed by Fati Basaga announced today that it is withdrawing from Tripoli, the seat of the rival government of the country, a few hours after entering the city.
The press service of this government pointed out in a statement that Basaga, like many of his ministers, “left Tripoli in order to preserve the security (…) of the citizens”.
Earlier, it was reported that fighting broke out in Tripoli, shortly after the announcement by the parliament-appointed government that it had arrived in the Libyan capital.
The press service of Fati Basaga’s government reported that the prime minister and “several ministers” had “arrived” in the capital, Tripoli, to begin work “there.
The Libyan parliament, which is based in the eastern part of the country, named Basha’s new prime minister in February. The parliament is backed by General Haftar, the strongman of eastern Libya, whose troops had attempted to seize the capital in 2019.
Abdulhamid al-Dbaiba, the head of government in Tripoli formed following a UN-backed political process in early 2020, refused to relinquish power, sparking another long-running dispute between the two parallel governments.
The Dhaba government’s main mission was to hold parliamentary and presidential elections, which are supposed to take place in December 2021.
