The High Council of State's accusations came after armoured vehicles from an armed group commanded by Dbeibah's administration surrounded a major hotel in the capital Tripoli, preventing council members from entering, according to images broadcast by local media. The council's head, Khaled al-Mishri, said in a video statement on Facebook that the body had been due to vote on a constitutional basis for elections. Polls had been set for December 2021 to elect a replacement for Dbeibah's government, but were indefinitely postponed. The meeting was also set to discuss "the unification of executive power", implying that it would cover the fate of Dbeibah's government. Libya has been plagued by violence since the fall of Moamer Kadhafi's regime in 2011.
