Media sources said that it is likely that the Prime Minister-designate by Parliament, Fathi Bashagha, and his government ministers will enter the capital, Tripoli, in the coming hours, while military leaders have ruled out any armed clash.

The sources said that the Prime Minister of the National Unity Government, Abdel Hamid al-Dabaiba, is still continuing his work from the headquarters of the Prime Ministry and refuses to hand over except to an elected government.

In the meantime, military leaders ruled out the occurrence of any armed clash in the capital, Tripoli, which is witnessing security tension and the movement of military convoys loyal to the two parties.

Armed cars belonging to the forces of the National Unity Government roamed some streets of the city at dawn today, Saturday, while social networking sites transmitted videos of armed forces heading towards Tripoli.

These moves coincided with a meeting in Tunisia that brought together Bashagha and 3 of the most prominent leaders of the armed battalions in the city of Misurata: Mukhtar al-Jajjawi, Abd al-Salam Alilish, and Muhammad al-Hasan.

The three came out in a televised statement this morning, Saturday, in which they confirmed the opening of communication channels between the parties to spare Tripoli and the western region the specter of clash, and demanded Dabaiba and Bashagha to keep the conflict in its political form, and held them and the UN mission responsible for any drop of blood that might shed.

Cairo meetings

These developments come at a time when two constitutional committees from the State and House of Representatives have continued their meetings in Cairo a few days ago, under the auspices of the United Nations and embracing Egypt, in order to discuss the constitutional path and come up with a consensual opinion that leads to elections.

And Bashagha had confirmed - in previous statements - his intention to enter Tripoli, and his ability to do so in a peaceful manner, and this after taking over the prime minister's headquarters in the capitals of the eastern and southern regions, Benghazi and Sabha.

It is noteworthy that the Bashagha government, which was sworn in before the House of Representatives on the first of last March, has not yet been able to enter the country’s capital (Tripoli), due to the Dabaiba government’s refusal to hand over its duties only to an elected government, and is supported by the Supreme Council of State, which sees the postponement of consideration of changing The government is pending a decision on a constitutional rule that leads to holding elections that have been postponed since the end of last year.

On the other hand, the House of Representatives supports the Bashagha government, insists on taking over its duties within a road map it approved last February and amended the constitutional declaration, and demands the amendment of the draft constitution submitted by the Constituent Assembly for the Drafting of the Constitution in 2017, then put it to a referendum and hold elections accordingly. .
