Tunisia developments make Libya's Brothers panic
Recent developments in Tunisia are apparently casting their shadow on events in neighboring Libya.
There are calls in Libya now for
ending the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Some Libyans are quoting the
Tunisians in calling for protests in different cities, including in capital
Tripoli, against the Brotherhood which almost controls the capital through its
own militias.
The prospective demonstrators are
adopting slogans, such as 'Down with the Brotherhood gang' 'Enough for
Brotherhood stealing', and 'Enough for corruption'.
They want to stage the
demonstrations on July 30.
Libyans have been suffering for a
long time now because of the chaos wreaked on their country by Brotherhood militias.
They also suffer because of the
Brotherhood's control over all aspects of Libyans' life in some cities,
including in the capital.
They rule the Libyan capital with iron
and fire. This is why the prospective demonstrators are calling for restoring
Libya from the claws of the Brotherhood and its militias.
On July 25, Tunisian President Kais Saied
sacked the cabinet and dissolved the parliament which was controlled by the
Brotherhood and headed by Brotherhood leader Rached Ghannouchi.
Common ground
The UN mission said on July 27 that a
specialized committee would meet on Saturday to look into proposals on the
proposed approach to reach an agreement on the constitutional basis that would
enable national elections to be held at the end of this year.
On the other hand, members of the
Supreme State Council in Tripoli wait for the election of a new president after
the end of the term of Brotherhood senior figure, Khaled al-Meshri.
Elections
Libya's ousted mufti, al-Sadiq al-Ghariani,
returned to incitement against the Libyan people.
This time he incited militias to
prevent the next elections.
Al-Ghariani said in videos broadcast
on his Facebook page that maintaining Libya's current turmoil would be less
harmful than the elections.
He called on militias to stop the
elections by all means.
