More than a hundred gunmen entered Tripoli, Libya, on Sunday, and surrounded the foreign ministry.
They blocked the roads towards the building with trucks carrying anti aircraft guns.
The gunmen are demanding that the government block all officials who served under Qaddafi be blocked from working in the new government.
Once their demands are met, they say they will peaceably leave.
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan called upon the people of Libya to stand with the government against "people who want to destabilize the country".
His government had promised to remove all Qaddafi era officials, in March, but did not fulfill the promise.
