Event
Activists plan to protest outside Parliament's branch office in Tripoli from 11:00 Feb. 9 to show support for the Government of National Unity (GNU) and Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah. The protest comes after Parliament announced that it would elect a new interim prime minister to replace Dbeibah Feb. 10. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Parliament's branch office through the afternoon of Feb. 9. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
