Protests in Tripoli over power cuts spread

Protesters in Tripoli shut roads and public buildings, including the foreign ministry, as a civil disobedience campaign against prolonged power cuts and high electricity rates expands. The Souq Al-Jumaa Movement, which launched the campaign, demands the overthrow of the Government of National Unity. Blackouts reach up to 10 hours daily, worsening public frustration. Meanwhile, White House adviser Massad Boulos discussed Libyan unification with Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah.
