Libya's Brotherhood maneuvering to overcome its internal isolation
Muslim Brotherhood members in Libya work hard to overcome the isolation they suffer internally and cope up with the transformations taking place across the region.
Libya's Muslim Brothers
are following in the footsteps of their peers in Tunisia, especially in
building alliances with outside powers through the International Organization
of the Muslim Brotherhood.
In Libya, the Muslim
Brothers seek to have presence in all state institutions and implement their
social and political project in a systematic manner.
Ending isolation
The Muslim Brotherhood of
Libya is into a new maneuver to overcome its internal isolation and the
transformations happening in the region.
The group is changing its
own organizational identity by changing its name. It has recently declared that
its new name will be "Revival and Renewal Society".
Attempts by the Muslim
Brotherhood in this regard are seen within the framework of the group's preparations
for the general elections that is due to be held in Libya before the end of
this year.
The Brotherhood's change
of name seems to have been made after intensive consultations with its partners
outside Libya.
The group said in a
statement on May 2 that social work would be a real prelude to progress.
We have chosen to call
for God and stick to moderate Islam, the Brotherhood said in its statement.
