The deputy head of Libya’s National Transitional Council resigned on Sunday after angry protests, as the ruling body faced its first serious challenge since the ouster of Muammar Gaddafi.
NTC deputy head Abdel Hafiz Ghoga told AFP he had resigned from his post, as thousands of students demonstrated on Sunday against him in Benghazi’s University of Ghar Yunis where he was manhandled three days ago.
On Sunday he was again the target of about 4,000 students who chanted anti-Ghoga slogans at the university and condemned the arrest of 11 of their colleagues for allegedly manhandling him on Thursday.
The NTC has also faced the fury of angry Benghazi residents for what they say is a “non-transparent” body, marginalising injured former rebels who fought Gaddafi and choosing members who were previously loyal to the slain dictator.
