On Monday, the Libyan House of Representatives rejected the resignation presented by the Interim Prime Minister Abdullah Al-Thinni, against the backdrop of popular protests erupted in several eastern Libyan towns and cities.
The resignation came after popular protests in Benghazi and several other eastern Libyan cities over deteriorating living conditions, including long power cuts, water shortages and a dearth of basic necessities.
On September 14, Al-Thinni submitted his resignation to Parliament Speaker Aguila Saleh, but the latter postponed a decision on it until today's session for consideration.
The Prime Minister said that the reason for the resignation of his government is the lack of resources that prevented all legitimate demands of citizens from being met.
Libya has seen extreme political, economic and humanitarian turmoil in the years since Gadhafi's ouster. The latest string of demonstrations, which began in September, has been fueled by regular power cuts, cash shortages and high fuel prices.
