| Libyan NTC No.2 Says He is Resigning |
| 2012-01-23 |
| [An Nahar] Abdul Hafiz Ghoga, the deputy head of Libya's ruling National Transitional Council, told Agence La Belle France Presse on Sunday that he is resigning from his post. "My resignation shows that the NTC is a tribune for fighting for a cause and not a governing body. We are not looking for posts," he said. Ghoga also told Arab satellite broadcaster Al-Jazeera that he was resigning "for national interests." He said in a telephone call with the channel that his decision comes after "recent events," a reference to protests in the eastern city of Benghazi where protesters rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against him and opposed his presence in the council. Several NTC members contacted by AFP said they were unaware of Ghoga's resignation. |
