CAIRO: Protests resumed Monday night in Libya’s capital Tripoli against the Government of National Accord.

The demonstrations followed angry protests on Sunday against deteriorating living conditions.

Protesters in Tripoli’s Martyrs' Square chanted for the head of the UN-backed GNA, Fayez Al-Sarraj, to stand down, Al Arabiya reported.

Earlier Monday, the UN mission to Libya called for an “immediate and thorough investigation” into the use of excessive force from pro-GNA security forces at Sunday's protests.

Libya is divided between two rival administrations, with the GNA controlling Tripoli and the west and the House of Representatives holding sway in the east.
