Earlier today, protest movements were organized in many cities of Libya, mainly on the occasion of the power outages in the middle of summer. In Tripoli’s Martyrs’ Square, several hundred people gathered chanting slogans against both rival governments vying for power in Libya. This was one of the largest protests in the country in the last two years.

“We are bored, we are bored! The nation wants to overthrow governments! We want electricity!” shouted the demonstrators in Tripoli, demanding elections.

Several dozen protesters also gathered in other cities, such as Benghazi. In Al Quba, eastern Libya, residents were calling for the resignation of all governments and political actors who have failed to raise the standard of living of the people.

Libya’s electricity sector has been undermined by war and political chaos as investment and maintenance work has stalled and much infrastructure has been destroyed. Lately, groups close to the government in eastern Libya have blocked oil facilities, reducing fuel supplies to power plants and worsening blackouts.
