| Women protest against armed presence in Tripoli |
| 2013-11-20 |
| [Libya Herald] Hundreds of women turned out in Algeria Square yesterday to protest against the presence of armed militias 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... streets and across the country. They called for a complete end to the country's militias and demanded that the security of the country be placed solely in control of the national Armed Forces and the police. The crowd included a small group of Libyan women who live and study in Manchester in the UK. They had returned to Libya to express their condolences for the country's losses in the recent Tripoli festivities. They also plan to conduct some research into why things in Libya have not been working post-Revolution. |
