Libyans in Malta Demand Removal of 'Gaddafi Loyalists' from Government 12/12/2012 18:04:00

For the umpteenth time, a number of Libyans living in Malta Wednesday organised a protest in front of the Libyan Embassy and the Maltese capital, Valletta demanding demanding the removal of people with strong ties to the Gadaffi regime from the Libyan government, and changes in the Libyan embassy personnel in Malta. They said that the only changes in the Libyan embassy in Malta since the end of last year's conflict have been cosmetic. The only real change in the embassy, they said, was the the flag. The Libyan community in Malta was also protesting over the way violent militias are governing and terrorising the country since the February 17 Revolution saying that Libya is being run by the military militias based in Misurata and other parts of the country. Libyans in Malta, other protesters in the main cities of Libya and throughout most of the European countries insist that if militias and Gaddafi loyalists are not removed from places of authority in Libya, last year's revolution would have been in vain and people would have shed their blood for nothing. At the end of the protest, the Libyan community in Malta presented Mohammed M A Elghirani, the Libyan Charge d'Affairs in Malta a letter in order for him to forward to the Libyan government, now being led as Prime Minister Dr Ali Zidan.
