Dbeibah claims elections are the only way to end crisis

Abdulhamid Al-Dbeibah, the leader of Libya's Government of National Unity, stated that he supports the country's demonstrators and agrees that all institutions, including the government, should be replaced, and that there is no other way to achieve this other than by "election."

After demonstrators stormed the parliament building in Tobruk, in the east, and held the largest rally in years in Tripoli, the capital city of the west, Dbeibah made his remarks.

In order to protest the deteriorating living conditions and the political impasse, demonstrators stormed the parliament building in Tobruk, in eastern Libya.

On Friday, media sites displayed pictures of dense columns of black smoke emanating from the parliament building's perimeter as irate teenage protestors torched tyres. Several television programs reported that protesters had entered the parliament building and committed acts of damage.

Since Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in a NATO-backed rebellion in 2011, Libya has been in complete disarray. It broke apart in 2014 into rival eastern and western factions, and a peace process that started in 2020 attempted to reunite the nation.

However, the eastern-based parliament declared that Abdulhamid al-interim Dbeibah's unity administration had expired and named Fathi Bashagha to take his place when a scheduled poll was called off in December.

Images from the demonstration in Tobruk, in the east of the country, showed a protester operating a bulldozer that was able to partially crash down a fence, facilitating easier access for other protesters to the parliament building. Other protestors flung office papers into the air while some waved the green flags of the Gaddafi dictatorship.
