 Collective resignation of all political institutions and citizens immediately to vote.

The cry of pain launched by Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dbeibah, supported by the international community, in the aftermath of the violence that shook the country from east to west, paradoxically uniting in social discontent and protest against expensive life is a real cry of pain and corruption the two souls of Libya perpetually fighting each other since the killing of Muammar Gaddafi.

"I add my voice to protesters across the country: all political bodies must resign, including the government, and there is no way to do that except through elections," Dbeibah wrote on Twitter, as the Presidential Council said. announced to be in permanent session "to realize the will of the Libyans (who want) the change and the production of an elected authority".


    A tense situation that has been brewing for months, culminating in Friday's assault on the parliament in Tobruk, which also alarmed the UN.

"It is absolutely essential to remain calm, that the Libyan leadership is responsible, and to exercise restraint on the part of all", in turn wrote on Twitter Stephanie Williams, special adviser in Libya to the UN secretary general, admonishing that " the people's right to protest peacefully should be respected and protected, but riots and vandalism such as the assault on the seat of the House of Representatives yesterday in Tobruk are completely unacceptable ".

Images of the parliament being bulldozed and looted, with thick columns of smoke, have gone around the world.

But Black Friday hit the streets of the whole country, passing from Tobruk to al-Baida and Benghazi, the cradle of the 2011 revolt, and then to Sebha, in the south, up to the west, to Misrata and Tripoli.

"We want to have light" the protesters screamed, referring to the power outages for many hours a day, aggravated by the blockade of several oil installations, caused by the tensions between the rival factions.

The object of people's anger is the political class, judged unable to give concrete answers to everyday problems, and which has not even been able to call new elections, after the cancellation of those scheduled last December.

The square has asked for a presidential and legislative vote within the year, an appeal received today by Prime Minister Dbeibah, also pressured by the failure of Thursday's negotiations in Geneva under the aegis of the UN which failed to agree on the Tripoli government with the rival one of the other premier Fathi Bashaga, supported by General Khalifa Haftar, on a date for that electoral appointment that everyone says they want.
