Militias demanding the resignation of former associates to
the Gaddafi regime, who are now working in Libya’s current government,
have pledged to continue pressurizing the General National Congress.
“We are determined to continue our movement until the departure of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan,” said Osama Kaabar, a leader of the militias who had promised to lift their siege if the law was passed.
The General National Congress voted by a large majority on Sunday for the removal of anyone who held a senior position during the Gaddafi regime, a change that could potential remove the current Prime Minister and other officials regardless of their active role in the opposition.
An AFP correspondent reported that armed men in vehicles with weaponry including anti-aircraft guns still surrounded the Foreign and Justice Ministries on Monday.
“The adoption of the law on political exclusion is a major step in the right direction. But we will take our time to examine certain aspects of the law,” said Kaabar who is also a vice president of the Superior Council of Libyan Tuwwar (revolutionaries).
“On the other hand we are determined to bring down the government of Ali Zeidan,” he said, accusing the premier of “provoking the thuwar,” former rebels who fought Gaddafi’s forces during the revolution.
Sunday’s vote saw 164 votes in favour and just four against.
