TRIPOLI, May 7 (Reuters) – Libya’s prime minister convinced
the defence minister not to resign on Tuesday, hours after
Mohammed al-Bargathi said he was quitting in protest against the
siege of two government ministries by armed groups, the
premier’s spokeswoman said.
“The prime minister asked the defence minister to change his
mind and to consider the situation the country is in, and so he
decided to change his mind,” the spokeswoman told Reuters by
telephone.
