Anger Escalates Against Muslim Brotherhood in Libya
Expulsion and fistfights between the masses and Al-Mashri’s guards, according to eyewitnesses, during the celebration in the city of Al-Zawiya in the capital, Tripoli.
The sources indicated that the Prime Minister of the National Unity Government, from which Parliament withdrew confidence, Abdel Hamid Dabaiba, left the celebration in protest against the expulsion of Al-Mashri.
Al-Mashri’s expulsion from the celebration came after accusations by the Council and the Brotherhood by the Libyan street of disrupting any political path and working to spread chaos, the latest of which, according to experts, was creating crises with the prospective government and the new Prime Minister Fathi Bashagha, who was chosen by Parliament to lead the executive authority during the transitional period and until elections.
Recent events
According to experts, during that period, the organization sought to use the scenario of threatening violence through armed militias and incitement to split any rivalry in the country’s interest. Here, the Libyan politician Mahmoud al-Douri confirmed, the organization’s steps in the past few days confirm that it seeks chaos.
During his statements to “Sky News Arabia”, the Libyan politician Mahmoud Al-Douri accused the so-called Supreme Council of State, which is controlled by the Brotherhood, of creating division in any way.
Although Al-Mashri did not oppose Bashagha as prime minister, after agreeing with the House of Representatives on the constitutional path, the moves and statements came to the contrary to create a kind of confusion, division and uncertainty as well.
And he continued, in his speech to Sky News Arabia: “The organization knows very well that its end is near and a face has been exposed in front of the street, and therefore they strive to keep the joints of the state under their control.
The Brotherhood in Libya clings to its presence in the political scene and fights for it, and this was clearly demonstrated, according to human rights defender, Bouyamamah’s freedom in the organization’s desperation to obstruct the holding of the presidential and parliamentary elections last December and the country’s entry into a new maze, because it knows very well that it will be the end of its project because the street revealed the true face of the organization.
Human rights activist Hurriya Bouyamamah confirmed, during her statements to “Sky News Arabia”, that the Brotherhood is well aware that the organization’s political loss has become very close, as it only operates in a climate of chaos and destroys any chances of stability.
The human rights activist referred to the organization’s calls during the last period from its leaders, all of which are inflammatory, seeking to ignite the fuse of fighting and conflict, as the organization threatened the High Elections Commission until the elections were postponed.
The goal from the start
The Brotherhood in Libya, as usual, jumped at the forefront of the scene after the fall of Gaddafi, and the organization worked to infiltrate the sovereign institutions of the state and dominate the economic institutions, and even prepare the loyal military arms “militias” to use them to reach power if the need arises, which is what happened after that.
The Libyan academic added, during his statements to “Sky News Arabia”, that the organization used malicious tricks from the beginning to control the joints of the state and parliament to pass laws that serve them and enable them to impose control, and in parallel with those tricks, the organization was building armed militias with external support.
“The goal was one, the power and the wealth of the country and the destruction of the army,” Libyan academic Mohamed Al-Hilawi explained the role of the malign organization in destroying the country and their plan of penetration and control by force of arms.
Al-Hilawi revealed the seriousness of those laws that the people paid for, which lasted until 2014, and fell in the only parliamentary elections that the country witnessed, and resulted in the street’s termination of the organization and its suspicious plans and movements.
The capital and the army
The organization obtained only 20 seats out of a total of 200 in Parliament during the 2014 elections, and here the plan began to unfold, according to the Libyan academic Muhammad Al-Hilawi, who confirmed that the organization at that time began using its terrorist claws, “militias.”
On July 13 of the same year, the Libyans woke up to the sounds of huge explosions and non-stop gunfire, for the Brotherhood’s media to announce that an operation called “Libya Dawn” was launched under the pretext of protecting the revolution, and the organization announced that it did not recognize the elections and that its members in the council would not attend the sessions.
The organization’s militias began carrying out a large-scale attack on the Libyan army stationed at Tripoli International Airport and all its camps south of the capital, and burning property in the rest of the capital.
Here, Al-Hilawi explained that this chaos that shocked the entire Libyan people, won the blessing of all the leaders of the Brotherhood, led by Al-Sadiq Al-Ghariani and Khaled Al-Mashri, the current head of the so-called “Libyan State Council.”
The battles in which the Brotherhood used many militias affiliated with terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda continued for 47 days, and led to the almost complete destruction of the airport as a result of indiscriminate bombing and the displacement of dozens of families living in its vicinity and hundreds of other families from the center of Tripoli.
It is expected that the reconstruction costs of Tripoli Airport will reach more than one billion dollars in order for it to return to service; It includes the construction of stadiums, main and subsidiary halls, and watchtowers, of which nothing remains after the barbaric attack that also affected oil tanks and electricity towers, as well as storming all media supporting the army and police and rejecting the Brotherhood.
For his part, the Libyan diplomat, Salem Al-Werfalli, said that since the dawn of Libya terrorist operation, we have been living captives to the chaos of the Brotherhood and its militias, and the kidnapping of the entire capital, as it is hostage to that fateful day.
After the Brotherhood’s attack and coup, the Libyan army launched Operation Dignity, led by Major General (at the time) Khalifa Haftar, to confront terrorist organizations; The most prominent of these are Ansar al-Sharia, Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura, Abu Salim, al-Qaeda and ISIS.
The Libyan diplomat, Salem Al-Werfalli, stated, during his statements to “Sky News Arabia”, that from the first moment the Brotherhood assumed leadership positions in the state, they realized that their existence depended on the destruction of the Libyan National Army, so they were keen on its defection.
During the past years, the Libyan army fought several military battles as part of Operation Dignity, which included the liberation of Benghazi, Ajdabiya, the Oil Crescent, Derna, and all the eastern cities, then the Libyan army moved to the south to extend its control there.
During the battles, the Libyan army was able to completely eliminate a number of terrorist organizations, forcing some of them to disappear, abandon their extremist ideas and abandon their weapons. Here, Al-Werfalli confirmed that the army was able, through Operation Dignity, to eradicate the roots of terrorism in Libya despite the complexity and intertwining of events.
And the Libyan diplomat continued, during his statements to “Sky News Arabia”, saying: “The army’s move at that time was the beginning of the alarm bell and the popular awareness of the danger of the organization’s project and its real goals towards the country suffering from the chaos of arms in the capital.”
