Libya's State Council Demands New Government Amid Growing Unrest
The head of Libya's High Council of State, Khaled Al-Mishri, announced that the council no longer recognizes the legitimacy of the Government of National Unity, led by Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbaiba. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Al-Mishri pointed to the resignation of half of the cabinet ministers as a critical turning point that strips the government of its political standing. He stated that political tradition calls for a prime minister to resign if even two ministers step down. 'Now that half of the government has walked away, the question is no longer about legitimacy. It's about responsibility,' Al-Mishri said. He called on Dbaiba to respect the shifting political reality and step aside to allow for the formation of a unified national government. Al-Mishri confirmed that the High Council of State has reached an understanding with the House of Representatives to resolve the ongoing division in Libya's executive authority. Both bodies, he said, agree on the urgent need to form a single, inclusive government that can guide the country toward elections and long-term stability. Addressing the growing protest movement, Al-Mishri said the demonstrators are demanding what Libyans have waited years for: a single government and national elections. He affirmed that the legislative groundwork for holding those elections has already been completed and warned against any efforts to suppress the peaceful movement. He voiced strong opposition to any attempts to intimidate or silence protest leaders and said the people have every right to continue demonstrating peacefully until their demands are fulfilled. Al-Mishri also blamed the Dbaiba administration for the public outrage, citing its failure to handle security issues, which has led to widespread instability. He described the protests as a legitimate response to mismanagement and urged respect for the right to peaceful assembly as an essential part of democratic life.

Libya's State Council Urges Parliament to Restart Political Dialogue
Head of Libya's High Council of State (HCS) Khaled Al-Mishri has formally called on the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ageela Saleh, to begin urgent consultations to form a new unified Libyan government, amid renewed legal affirmation of Al-Mishri's position. This move follows a ruling by the Administrative Circuit of the Supreme Court (Ruling No. 72/165Q, dated 28 May 2025), which nullified a previous decision from the South Tripoli Court that had contested Al-Mishri's leadership. The Supreme Court's decision confirmed the legitimacy of the electoral process that brought him to office. Al-Mishri emphasised that the court ruling has definitively settled the legal dispute over his leadership, describing the decision as 'final and conclusive.' He warned that the ongoing division of executive and oversight bodies continues to obstruct national reconciliation efforts and delays Libya's critical political deadlines. In his letter, Al-Mishri stressed the urgent need to reactivate the agreed roadmap for unifying sovereign institutions, rebuilding trust in the political process, and paving the way for national elections. He reiterated that ending Libya's transitional phases and delivering stability and sovereignty are essential goals aligned with the aspirations of the Libyan people. Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations. Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy. The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions. The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition. Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges. Tags: Ageela SalehHCSKhaled Al-MishrlibyaLibyan parliament
