Tens of armed vehicles with tens of armed fighters took to roads in Hay Al-Andalus neighborhood in Tripoli chanting words against the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity Abdul Hamid Dbiebah, a sign described as a power show by armed factions loyal to Prime Minister-designate Fathi Bashagha. Earlier in Thursday, another Juwaili-loyal force of more than 50 vehicles and armored vehicles moved from Fourth Battalion Camp to 7 April Camp in Al-Sawani in south Tripoli. Bashagha's attempt to enter Tripoli last week didn't go as planned as pro-Bashagha forces were encircled in downtown Tripoli and one of his companions was killed as others were injured. Bashagha managed to leave the capital after the intervention of Brigade 444 that escorted him and his delegation out to Shuwairif in south Libya. This new development comes one day after Bashagha has told The Associated Press that his government will work from Sirte and only enter Tripoli if conditions are 100% favorable.
