The Libyan hard equation
the Libyans after a month of singing and celebrating,they found them selves under the effect of a strong hangover of long four decades of dictatorship and a labyrinth of major and minor endless problems.
What will be The political scenario in Libya after the death of Gheddafi ?
Recently the inhabitants of Tripoli have demonstrated against the armed militants who control the city in a fierce way and controlled by three war lords: field marshal Khalifa Hifter,Abdulhaki Belhaj and a certain Abdullah Naker !
Mr. Naker is Unknown leader who spent years of his life repairing Radios and Televisions in the down town of Tripoli, but seems that he managed to join the rebels of his native town Zintan just at the end of armed struggle to get rid of Gheddafi. This latter `s favorite hoppy is to appear in the media and remind the Libyans of Tripoli that if it was not him, the three millennium old city would have fallen under the hands of Mr., Belhaj!
But, who the hell is this Belhaj?
His majesty is a Former prisoner at Guantanamo and he was return to his native city was coincided with the day of liberation 20 Aug, When he appeared to Aljazeera as the savior of Tripoli with his extraterrestrial war techniques! However, many people that I personally know say that, Mr. Belhaj was sleeping when Tripoli was freed of Gheddafi, of the Liberation he got just that interview with Aljazeera and a punch of papers and stamps to proof that he is the legitimate military counselor of Tripoli! In addition, he is highly supported by the state of Qatar and Jalil himself.
while Hifter is just back to Libya after years of America exile, the man was the commander of the Libyan forces that fought against Chad when he was captured in 1988!
On the other hand, the militias (majority came from Zintan) that belong to Mr. Naker became heavy guest for the inhabitants of Tripoli and Libyans in general.recently the militants forced the Tunisian and Maltese airline flights to take off according to their well not to the schedule, while the Berber militants attacked the Tunisian borders seeking war booty and bottles of bad quality of Tunisian beer and smuggled cigarettes,
The Libyan government is too far and too weak to solve such problems, as it is formed of Libyans with foreign passports that passed at least half of their life in exile like Mr. Alkip the prime minister, a Tripoli native with American passport! The female minister of health, Ms Fatima Hmaroush who was born in Libya but brought up in Ireland, seems Irish rather than Libyan.
President of the Libyan Republic in theory Mr. Jalil in his first speech instead of giving the main lines of his temporary politics, he gave the green light to the polygamy! As if, it was a priority for the Libyans! Nevertheless he is from Cyrenaica, he was strongly criticized the other week at the heart of Benghazi … what was his reaction?
Benghazi is the economic capital of Libya…… that was Jalil`s response to the protestors as he fears some voices especially in Cyrenaica asking for the federalism rather than a central government in the far city of Tripoli!
Benghazi can become an excellent economic capital of Libya due to the of its inhabitants, part of them descent of Greek, Turkish and Jewish origins rather than others of the famous Misurata.. Benghazi can be a flourished city as well, thanks to its vicinity to the oil fields, water resources and the historical archaeological sites of Cyrenaica.
The people of Benghazi want to know the names of members of the transitory council! The five stars members as many of the reside in Tibesty and Ouzo hotels of Benghazi, they are asking real transparency especially in the future economic deals, they are asking about the Qatar rule in their country post Gheddafi.
In addition to the security and government problem, there is another huge problem..Lack of cash at the banks, people can not withdraw their money for the last ten months! Due to the refusal of the western countries that have frozen the Libya assets, to hand over the money to a country in such condition, suffering the abundant quantity of arms in unknown hands.
After the long nightmare of their freedom fight , Libyans today are uncertain about their destiny with many appearing troubles and turbulence but nevertheless of all that, there have been appearing many positive signs of democracy and pluralism in a country in which the image of the pontific maximums is strongly present for the last have century! There have been founded many parties, human rights associations, blogs, news papers among them one is dedicated to the Libyan antiquities and archeological sites, there have been calls to recognize and give more political and cultural spaces to the Berbers, while many others struggle for the rights of the Libyans Jewish community in exile! Actions that testify the thirstiness of Libyans for a democratic modern state.
In Libia una tribù che ha fatto il doppio gioco e ricattato nella formazione del governo sulla pelle di un "suo" prigioniero ottenendo il ministero della difesa, può fare "processi" ? Allora la strada della legalità è molto lunga- Noi stessi dovremmo dare voce alla indignazione allorchè accade che sia presentato al mondo come "assoluzione" la dichiarazione di un fantomatico "tribunale". C'è la ICC Court per pronunciarsi sui crimini, lì devono andare i prigionieri di guerra, comunque la si pensi

Thank you for all your updates from Libya. It's rather hard to get a sense of some of the realities on the ground just by reading the newspapers, because nowadays for us abroad, they just focus on the big stories.
