Widespread protests have erupted across Libya's capital, Tripoli, as residents express growing frustration over prolonged electricity outages, rising electricity costs, and deteriorating public services.
Demonstrators blocked major roads, shut down several government offices, and launched a civil disobedience campaign aimed at increasing pressure on the Government of National Unity led by Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dabaiba.
Protesters gathered in several districts, including Janzour, Souq Al-Jumaa, and Tajoura, where they burned tyres, blocked key highways, and forced the closure of public buildings. At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demonstrators reportedly used trucks filled with dirt to block access to the facility.
The protests were organized by local civic groups, including the Souq Al-Jumaa Movement, which accused the government of corruption and failing to address worsening living conditions. Organizers called for the dissolution of Libya's current political institutions and demanded greater accountability from public officials.
The unrest has spread as power cuts in Tripoli and surrounding areas now last up to ten hours daily. Residents also continue to face inflation, currency instability, shortages of fuel and cash, limited access to medicines, and declining healthcare and education services.
The Tajoura Families and Youth Movement announced a boycott of government institutions, saying public officials have focused on political disputes while essential services continue to deteriorate.
The Government of National Unity had not issued an official response at the time of reporting.
Meanwhile, White House adviser for African affairs Massad Boulos said he held talks with Prime Minister al-Dabaiba on efforts to promote Libya's reunification and strengthen security cooperation between the country's eastern and western factions. He reaffirmed Washington's support for a unified, stable, and peaceful Libya.
