Tripoli, 16 November 2013:
There have been relatively small demonstrations in Misrata against the fighting that has been taking . . .[restrict]place in Tripoli, echoed by a similar gathering in Zliten. Those who took part were protesting the violence itself between Libyans.
Demonstrators handed out a statement saying they had been moved to protest by the shedding on blood “in our beloved capital”.
Condemning tribalism and regionalism they called on Libyans to resolve their differences peacefully. They regretted every drop of blood shed on Friday at Ghaghour and sent their condolences to the bereaved.
They also demanded that Laws 27 and 53, dealing with the removal of all militias be implemented “without fear or favour with a single mechanism under state control”. [/restrict]
