[MAGHAREBIA] Libyans staged a day of "civil disobedience" on Sunday (April 6th) to denounce the deteriorating security situation.
| "Civil disobedience" to protest a deteriorating security situation? I think I see your problem. |
| When are these protesters going to put their own shoulders to the wheel? Civil institutions, democracy, efficient government, stable neighborhoods and jobs aren't bequeathed from on high... |
Protestors demanded the suspension of the General National Congress (GNC) and the holding of parliamentary and presidential elections.
| Like that'll solve the problem... |
In Benghazi, a general strike temporarily halted flights at the city's international airport. Schools and banks also shut down as part of the civil disobedience call. |
