Protests and closures paralyze western Libya
Tripoli experienced a widespread protest escalation by the "Youth of Souq al-Juma'a Movement" and activists, which included the closing of ministry offices and oil facilities in an attempt to confront corruption and the declining living conditions. Security forces erected dirt barriers in front of some institutions, while protests continued over the high cost of living and the suspension of gas pumping operations at the Mellite Oil Complex. Despite these developments, government interventions and local leaders' efforts aimed to reopen institutions and ensure the continuation of essential services such as banks and hospitals, as well as resuming gas production after it was halted due to objections to its export. However, the interim Prime Minister, Abdulhamid Dbeibah, ignored the events and focused instead on the issue of releasing two citizens from Italy, amidst ongoing tensions and the delayed response to protesters' demands.
