BENGHAZI, Libya Jan 5 (Reuters) - Hundreds of Libyan soldiers protested on Thursday in the eastern city of Benghazi, demanding payment of overdue wages and complaining militia groups had taken over their bases and were not interested in joining a new national army.

The soldiers, part of a force marginalised by ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi, gathered outside a branch of the central bank in Benghazi in their military uniforms and clutching their arms.

They said the new government should focus on building a new army rather than giving cash compensation to former rebels who have formed powerful regional militia since ousting Gaddafi.

Video: Libyan fighters reject new head of army

Two of Libya’s former rebel groups have rejected the governments choice of a new head of the armed forces, Yousef Mangoush, which has raised fresh concerns over the security in the country.

In his first international interview, Mangoush told Al Jazeera he understands the challenges he faces in his new role.

Yet not everyone is convinced with his credentials, and convincing the rank and file that he is the man to lead them may be hard. Already brigades from the east of the country have rejected his appointment, preferring someone from their own city to represent them.
