Libyan militia warns government members to resign or risk arrest
In a televised statement, Libyan militia al-Qaaqaa says government's mandate is 'expired'
An influential Libyan militia has issued a televised statement warning members of parliament to leave their posts or face arrest.
The statement read by an unnamed commander of the al-Qaaqaa militia called on the parliament "to hand over power" by the end of the night, saying lawmakers who refuse to do so will be considered "usurpers of power" and will be detained.
Parliament's term expired on Feb. 7, but lawmakers voted to extend it with plans to hold new elections in the spring. Since then, crowds have been protesting to demand the legislative body be dissolved.
The warning comes a day after Libyans marked the third anniversary of the start of their revolution that toppled long-time dictator Muammar Gaddafi but left the country with no strong central government or military.

Oh my God!!! What has Britain and France done to liberate the Libyans only to get them into even deeper anarchy and lawlessness. That is the price the Libyans, and other Maghreb countries, are paying for such external interventions into the internal affairs of these Nations. All Britain and France did was to transfer power from their dictators to even worse fanatics as Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood, Taliban and worse even in Syria. And Qatar stoked the fire.

Is this the personal army of Major General Khalifa from Libya Farjan Tribe? Also reported that he had ties with the CIA?
