More than 100 protesters stormed Libya’s parliament on Thursday, preventing MPs from taking their seats to vote on whether to approve a new cabinet in the 1^st democratic government since the fall of Mu’ammar al-Qadhafi. Azzawiya protesters objected to the omission of a minister from their city, from the line-up of 29 cabinet ministers, but agreed to clear the chamber peacefully. Later, the PM, Mustafa Abu Shagur, announced that the MPs had informally rejected 13 of his nominees - including the oil minister. The procedure has been controversial in Libya, as Abu Shagur’s nominees exclude the National Forces Alliance, the largest party in congress.
