Divisions Appear Within Libyan Society After Dictator's Ouster
Mustafa Abdul Jalil
The Libyan interim leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil is facing the divisions within the Libyan society over the path Libya should walk from now on. During his first speech in front of 10,000 people he promised that the country will adopt a form of moderate Islam.
He said that sharia will be the source of legislation for Libya but added that no extreme ideology will be accepted. Still, the people of Libya are Muslim, he added, and this should be reflected in the legislation.
Divisions appeared after the capture of the capital Tripoli between conservative Islamists and secularist figures, many of them returned from exile, over the form of regime Libya should accept. National Transitional Council leader is said to make efforts to keep peace and a balance between the two sides, that grow more powerful by the day.
Among the Islamist figures is Abdul Hakim Belhaj, former member of Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, an organization that has long opposed Qaddafi. Belhaj has demanded the resignation of Mahmoud Jibril, the acting prime minister educated in the United States.
A more profound division between the west and the east, between Cyrenaica and Tripolitania, between Benghazi and Tripoli also surfaced and is sure to cause many problems in the period to come.
There is even the problem of the form of government the nation will have: those in Cyrenaica favor the restoration of the monarchy, whereas Tripolitania and Fezzan favor republic.
So far the country is being referred to as the Republic of Libya, but the flag of the revolution, which was embraced as national flag, is that of the monarchy. It is expected that a referendum be held on the problem of the form of government.
The NTC was already presented with the proposal to install a constitutional monarchy. There is a crown prince from the house of al-Senussi, Crown Prince Mohammed Al-Rida al Senussi, who could take the throne of the country.
The representativeness of women is another matter that NTC will have to consider. For that matter, they have asked the UN to assist.
Meanwhile, a black book of the former regime’s cronies was compiled in Libya and is expected that they will suffer retribution for their roles in the time of Qaddafi.
