Large crowds have blocked roads and shut down public institutions across Tripoli (Libya's capital and seat of the internationally recognised Government of National Unity) after a civil disobedience campaign over daily power outages lasting up to ten hours gained momentum in the early hours of Monday. The Souq Al-Jumaa Movement, which has opposed the unity government since clashes in May 2025, organised the campaign with the stated aim of "completely paralysing" the government rather than disrupting ordinary life, demanding accountability for alleged corruption and the dissolution of existing political bodies, including the government, parliament, and the Presidential Council. The unrest, which coincides with a heatwave driving up electricity demand, reflects deepening public frustration over inflation, fuel shortages, and Libya's prolonged political deadlock, and comes as a White House adviser separately held talks with Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah on steps toward national unification.
