Libya’s Premier Urges Supporters to Rally Amid Parliament Spat
Abdul Hamid Mohammed Dbeibah, Libya's interim prime minister, departs from number 10 Downing Street, following his bilateral meeting with Boris Johnson, U.K. prime minister, in London, U.K., on Thursday, June 24, 2021. International powers stressed Wednesday the need for foreign fighters and mercenaries to be gradually withdrawn from Libya to avoid a lopsided power balance, tackling head on a major sticking point in the conflict that has ravaged the OPEC member.

(Bloomberg) -- Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah urged supporters to demonstrate on Friday, as a parliamentary vote to withdraw confidence from his unity government risks a new political rift in the OPEC nation.
Hailing “honorable” deputies in the parliament who voted against Tuesday’s motion, Dbeibah also told a small group of demonstrating supporters in the capital, Tripoli, later that day that “legitimacy will be yours, and you will decide in the elections” slated for December.
