Tripoli, 21 November 2013:
The location of tomorrow’s planned protest against militia presence in Triploi has been changed to Abu . . .[restrict]Harida Square near Al Quds Mosque. The demonstration was previously planned to take place in Martyrs Square.
Referring to this week’s withdrawal of Misratan and other armed brigades from the capital, the head of the Tripoli Local Council (TLC) Sadat Elbadri said that the protest will be “more like a celebration after achieving much more than expected”.
Speaking to the Libya Herald, the Tripoli council leader confirmed the new location saying: “We have set the location as Abu Harida Square in commemoration of last Friday’s protest and all those who lost their lives.” He also commended the “extra-ordinary achievements by the people of Tripoli”.
Elbadri also confirmed the news of planned withdrawals by Qaaqaa Brigade, El Madni Brigade and the anti-drugs Quwat Al-Rada unit. He said he had no specifics as to what will become of the brigades when they leave but added “all these handovers would be complete today but the details are not clear. Still, it is more than we were expecting.”
