| Pro GNA HoR members open HoR branch in Tripoli |
| 2017-01-14 |
| [Libya Herald] Members of the House of Representatives (HoR) who fully support the UN-brokered Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) and its Government of National Accord (GNA), signed in the Moroccan city of Skhirat in December 2015, have set up a branch of the HoR in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... These are mainly the HoR members who support the GNA and have been trying for a year to organize a quorum in Tobruk to approve Prime Minister-designate Faiez Serraj and his designated GNA. News of this first broke early this morning when the first of the Ministry of Tourism’s employees turned up for work and noticed the long banner ‐ in Arabic and English ‐ on the side of their Ministry’s building. The Ministry of Tourism in Tripoli is located adjacent to the main entrance of Tripoli port. The banner was apparently put up without official notification to the Tourism Ministry under the cover of darkness last night. This morning, a number of Tourism Ministry employees organized a small protest outside the building in front of the banner. They objected to the banner being put up, protesting the ’’takeover’’ of their building. They later released a statement (on plain paper, unsigned or stamped) of condemnation and called for the powers to be to take corrective action. It later transpired that a whole floor of their large building was to be taken over by the HoR. The banner was partly folded over obscuring its message in later photos issued by the Ministry of Tourism. |
