Demonstrators protest against the General National Congress (GNC) at the Martyrs’ Square in Tripoli, November 9, 2013. According to the demonstrators, they were unhappy that the GNC had done little to help them and were demanding that fresh elections be held to choose another body to govern the country. The words on the protesters’ chests read, “No to extension”, a reference to the protesters’ objections against the GNC from extending their governing term once their mandate was over.
