Tripoli, 12 April 2014:
Less than a day after the main coast road running through Zawia was reopened it was again closed . . .[restrict]by local militiamen.
According to the Libyan news agency LANA, it was closed by gunmen saying they were taking action as part of the campaign of civil obedience opposed to the General National Congress continuing to function.
Yesterday, the local Shoura Council removed sand barriers set up in the town in protest against the General National Congress and the Muslim Brotherhood, and reopened the road.
However, schools in Zawia have remained largely closed even though it is reported that the civil disobedience campaign is not popular in the town. [/restrict]
