The gap between Sarraj and his interior minister widened, to the point of no return, after the former decided to suspend the labor minister and ordered an investigation into the attacks on protesters, following Bashagha’s accusations of militias affiliated with Sarraj from attacking peaceful protesters, and was excluded from two high-level security meetings.

Before setting the date for the investigation with Bashagha, the strong and rising man in Misrata who is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood group near Turkey, both took refuge with armed militias to guard him, while the Misrata militias back Bashagha against the Tripoli militias that support Sarraj, increasing the possibility of an armed confrontation between these militias.
