Hundreds of armored vehicles from Libya's Ministry of Defence completed their withdrawal from Tripoli to their original bases in Zintan, Zawiya, and Misrata between 4:07 PM and 7:07 PM UTC on October 1st, 2025, in direct implementation of a ceasefire agreement. The troop movement, confirmed by Lyobserver via X, signifies a de-escalation following recent tensions. The withdrawal of these military assets from the capital is a key step towards stabilizing the security situation. This development occurs against a backdrop of ongoing protests in Morocco, where authorities banned demonstrations citing legal infractions. In Rabat, the Ministry of Interior spokesperson Rashid Al-Khalafi stated that recent gatherings across several Moroccan regions failed to adhere to legal requirements, leading to the prohibition of further demonstrations. These protests, associated with the hashtag #Genz212, had previously involved clashes, burnt vehicles, and injuries in cities like Casablanca, Agadir, and Béni Mellal.
