The move has been spearheaded by the Misrata Chamber of Commerce, the city where Tripoli based Libyan PM, Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba, hails from. The call for a demonstration follows several meetings by the various chambers of commerce including one last Tuesday (5 March) at a leading hotel in Tripoli. This included chambers of commerce, industry and agriculture from Misrata, Sirte, Zliten, Al-Marqab, Al-Jabal Al-Gharbi, Zintan, Murzuq, Sebha, Ajdabiya, and the Western Region and Derna. It was agreed to form a higher committee of chambers and businessmen attending the meeting to follow up on the crisis with the CBL and relevant authorities.
