Libyan eastern government to arrest GNA ministers if entered eastern region

The Libyan eastern government in Bayda decided to arrest any ministers or officials from the Government of National Accord (GNA) if they entered the eastern region.
The decision was taken by the Prime Minister of the government, Abdullah Al-Thinni, ordering the interior and security forces at the region’s borders to arrest any GNA official or any eastern residents who might be willing to give them a hand.
Al-Thinni said in a statement on Wednesday that the GNA is unconstitutional and is usurping the power in Libya from the eastern government.
