The parallel government in eastern Libya has submitted its resignation after a rash of protests over deteriorating living conditions and corruption.
In the latest demonstrations, protesters in the city of Benghazi set fire to the headquarters of the military commander, Khalifa Haftar.
They also clashed in his stronghold of Al-Maj for the first time.
A spokesman for General Haftar said the administration backed peaceful protests but would not allow terrorists and the Muslim Brotherhood to hijack them.
Until now, protests against the situation in Libya have focused largely on the capital, Tripoli, home to the UN-recognised Government of National Accord.
