Protesters have stormed Libya’s parliament in the eastern city of Tobruk and set fire to part of the building.
Images posted online showed thick columns of smoke as the demonstrators burned tyres outside.
There have been rallies in other Libyan cities against continuing power cuts, rising prices and political deadlock.

Send in Texas, to clean up that mess!
If they would stop killing each other, no one in the country would have to do work they didn't enjoy.
If only there was someone who could maintain order…. oh wait there was.
so sad now they wish gaddafi was there yet they killed the best african leader
All this because Gadhafi wanted to create a currency and not let the central banks control the money supply.
Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver … This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA)."
"because of the infighting" Thats some propaganda shit right there. It's cause the US and NATO decided they'd introduce a little freedom to Libya
i feel like we in the west need to except that we were very lucky with democracy and that it doesnt work everywhere. some places are naturally authoritarian. we tried it in the middle east, russia, africa, pakistan and it hasnt worked
2 different Countries mobbed their Government buildings this weekend.
thats the one, these people know whats going on
good job to those American politicians that tried to rob them of their gas ha ha ha
And NATO have the audacity to condemn Russia?? After what they did to Libya 😭💚
The status of economic distress in just about every Nation that borders the Mediterranean Sea, indicates that the illusion of Capitalism as some social form of Social Order that serves the planet well, has some questions to answer?
Who is demonstrating positive figures as the use of Fiat Dollars now faces a judgement day, and the GDP seems to be inadequate to cover the bills?
Does the European Union exchanging Checks between German and French banks, create an illusion of a Positive GDP?
The supposedly wealthy US is contemplating a couple quarters of negative GDP figures as the Bills begin to pile up in the Mailbox.
Sri Lanka seems to show that the illusion only last for a little while, and after the US spent a couple decades attempting to bribe former Soviet Nations to join NATO, the costs of maintaining an illusion of prosperity seem daunting? The ability to shut the Homeless up and prevent some Bonus Army from camping on the White House Lawn, needs more than Cheap Smack to stop this illusion from going "Pop"?
None dare contemplate the end of Capitalism, but the conditions that ask, as Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks said, "Where's the Money?"
Now tell us who is drilling that oil, this is straight British propaganda
The sri lankans stole their idea
But it worked for them
Is somebody still care that UN concerned, protested and even exists?
Send General Rommel asap !
I'D LIKE TO SEE RUSSIAN CIVILIANS PROTESTING
Western regimes and corportions destroyed this country when they staged the civil war against Gaddafi and normal Libyans.
See what's so called super power has done to this country.
Libya protesters storm parliament, Sri Lanka protesters storm presidential palace, Chinese protesters are beaten by cops.
Removal of Gaddafi didn't help
After Sri Lanka's parliament stormed by protester, now Libya, what's next?
How does that american democracy feels. I though after Gaddaffi's removal, they gonna be very developed. They got fooled by NATO. Ukraine future faith if they keep siding with NATO.
Guess everyone is storming their government buildings now. 😒
Lybia should have split into two, would have saved a lot of suffering in the long run.
Why am I listening to BBC?
The russians and turkish destroyed the country
They should get together and make money again all this time
When the protesters attacked the building of the Libyan House of Representatives, they found many papers proving the Libyan House of Representatives’ involvement in financial and administrative corruption and the waste of money in a very crude and obscene way. All members of the Libyan House of Representatives amount to approximately $300,000 per year, while their monthly salary exceeds $5,000 per month with other trivial expenses borne by the helpless Libyan people who were the reason for their election to serve the Libyan state and the Libyan people. This is a disgrace that must be wiped and rid of. and holding free and fair elections immediately.
A strong, educated and patient people who know how to correct their mistakes and take their rights deserve to live a beautiful, safe and normal life in peace. The Libyan politicians in eastern and western Libya must submit to the will of the Libyan people to hold elections and improve the standard of living, which became hell a year ago. 2011 because of NATO's barbaric interference in the internal affairs of Libya using false, falsified and never true arguments.
We need to get rid of government. We have to be our own government.
