Tripoli, 2 July 2013:
Mystery this morning surrounded the whereabouts of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan, who did not attend a Moscow oil and gas conference as scheduled yesterday. Diplomatic sources suggest that instead of going to Russia, the prime minister wound up a trip to Germany and returned directly to Tripoli.
Calls to his office overnight and this morning have gone unanswered. There is speculation that Zeidan abandoned his Moscow trip because of rising concerns at the security situation in the capital. Last Thursday he set a five-day deadline for the evacuation of the Yarmouk Camp by Zintani militiamen, involved in two days of fighting in Abu Selim and Salah Idden. That deadline expires today.
It has also been suggested that Zeidan was concerned that congressmen might seek to table a vote of No Confidence in his government.
