A decision was issued to postpone the opening of the Ras Ajdir border crossing between Libya and Tunisia, scheduled for Monday after protesters closed the Abu Kamash coastal road leading to the crossing. 

The protesters issued a statement explaining that their decision was prompted by a series of actions from Imad Trabelsi, the minister of Interior in the "National Unity Government".

They described these actions as "ethnically and racially biased against the Amazigh community of Libya."

In their statement, the protesters expressed their denunciation of "the government's measures related to the transfer of some of the city's military personnel," accusing the government of adopting standards based on ethnic bias against the Amazigh community.

The protesters argued that "these decisions reflect ethnic, sectarian, and tribal hatred, forming part of a deliberate policy of marginalization towards their regions. They pointed out that essential budgets were not allocated for their cities' facilities, water and salary issues were unresolved, and there was ongoing ethnic discrimination and sectarian incitement against the Amazigh."

The protesters confirmed that they "have begun an open sit-in and closed all entrances to the Greater Zuwarah Municipality, including the Ras Ajdir border crossing and the Abu Kammash coastal road."

They also urged the government to "rescind its decisions that marginalize and transfer officers and soldiers of Amazigh backgrounds," announcing their "coordination with the Supreme Council of the Amazigh of Libya and the Amazigh municipal councils to take measures aimed at revoking recognition of the decisions made by the National Unity Government."

The protesters also emphasized that they "would not back down from their demands under any circumstances," asserting they are "following in the footsteps of the resistance fighters who sacrificed their blood for their dignity and pride."
