Tripoli, Libya, Muharram 14, 1438, Oct 15, 2016, SPA -- Members of the general national conference and the national salvage government have staged a bloodless coup that seized power in Tripoli, Libya, a statement by the coup said. In what he called the "historic initiative to salvage Libya", the chief of the former national salvage government Khalifa Al-Ghuwail, who rejects stepping down, said his government, an affiliate of the general national conference, is the legitimate government. Al-Ghuwail called on all ministers and heads of commissions and the salvage government dependents to practice their jobs, run their departments and present reports on the day-to-day affairs of citizens. In response, the national reconciliation government warned politicians cooperating with Al-Ghuwail in destabilizing the capital to be suspended. Ahmed Miateeq, the Deputy head of national reconciliation government suggested that violators of the political arrangement and seekers to ride confusing bodies parallel to the official State agencies would never reach any result. Such plans are no longer acceptable to our citizens as the aspirations of people are above such limited behaviors and that the country would only be saved by a comprehensive and sustainable development based on a strong political system that unifies Libyans and accepted by all people in the country, he added. --More 04:40 LOCAL TIME 01:40 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
