What are the repercussions of Bashagha’s suspension in Libya?

He was appointed prime minister in eastern Libya with a mandate to take over Tripoli.

Libya has been divided between two governments and two prime ministers.

One of them has now been suspended. Some analysts are warning that another power struggle could emerge.
