Libya Kaos: Pro-Haftar fighters storm constitution assembly

Khalifa Hafter
Fighters aligned with Khalifa Hafter, the military general based in the remote east of Libya, have stormed the headquarters of the constitution drafting assembly in the city of al-Bayda.


They held assembly members at gunpoint, and demanded they back down from a recently approved draft constitution.


  • It is unclear whether the fighters are still in the assembly.


The draft calls for a presidential and general election no more than 180 days from the passing of a constitution.

It is understood that the draft bans Haftar from running as president.
