Yesterday (4/10/12) the Libyan Prime Minister Mustafa Abushagur submitted his proposed political cabinet to the General National Congress (GNC). This would have been the Libya's first elected political cabinet since the fall of Muammer Qaddafi but strangely contained no members of Libya's largest political party the National Forces Alliance (NFA) which is essentially the elected form of the revolutionary National Transitional Council (NTC). It was also heavily weighted towards to Zintan militia and contained a high number of members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Yesterday evening between 150 and 200 protesters stormed the GNC building in protest. Today Abushagur has withdrawn his proposal which seems to me to be a good thing because I'm yet to be convinced by Abushagur as Prime Minister.
