Activists posted videos on social media of the mass demonstrations surrounding the home of the Prime Minister of Tripoli Fayez al-Sarraj in al-Noflin neighborhood in the capital Tripoli, where chants demanding him to leave raised.

The peaceful demonstrators chanted in Martyrs Square in Tripoli against the Syrian mercenaries of the Tripoli groups, and demanded for equal wages, similar to the mercenaries' imported from abroad.

The protest movement in the Libyan capital Tripoli gave the Government of National Accord 24 hours to announce its resignation, and hinted at the commencement of civil disobedience.

The protest movement in Libya considered that announcing the resignation of the Accord Government will constitute "respect for the people," and threatened that it will enter a civil sit-in if the government does not leave,. The internal movement demanded the Accord to release the detainees.

Over the past few days, the Libyan capital has witnessed similar demonstrations against the deterioration of public services, the frequent cut to electricity and water, and the scarcity of fuel in an oil-producing country.
