Libya's Dbeibah seeks calm after electricity protests
Libya’s Tripoli-based government sought on Monday to quell public anger over chronic power cuts, devoting its weekly meeting to the electricity sector and admitting it had underestimated the problem.
The meeting followed a night of angry protests across the capital, where masked youths set car tyres alight and blocked roads.
A further demonstration had been planned for Monday afternoon to demand long-awaited elections, but organisers cancelled it, saying they did not want to be associated with possible acts of vandalism.
