The Libyan Supreme Court has issued a ruling today declaring the election of the current parliament, currently operating out of the border town of Tobruk since they lost the capital, as unconstitutional.
The ruling effectively invalidates the seated parliament, adding to questions of who is actually in power, and gives a boost to the self-proclaimed rival parliament, currently in Tripoli, which is backed by the Misrata militia.
The previous elected parliament had extended its terms repeatedly before finally agreeing to the new vote in the face of an attempted coup d’etat by Gen. Khalifa Hifter. Hifter’s forces are now backing the new elected parliament in a war against the Misrata-backed one.
It is unclear, in the wake of this ruling, how a new election could even theoretically be held constitutionally, though the loss of court legitimacy could be the final blow to the Tobruk parliament.
Would the Imperial powers of the USA,UK,,France,and their regional lackeys of Saudi Arabia,United Arab Emirates ,and the military Junta of Egypt respect and support this ruling since their handpicked parliament is doomed.Or would totally ignore that ruling and continue supporting it with every means,and ignore the wishes of most Libyans and force upon them a very much hated parliament.It is time to let Libyans decided their government.Stop supporting the wanna be new Sissi dictator and his cronies.The United Arab Emirates has paid for and funded the Tobruk parliament.
Tobruk parliament has has much support among most Libyans.Most of its members were bought by the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates who has spent huge sums of money to abort any group and movement that perceive to be threat to dynastic families lording over Arab countries.He has hired the former Black water bosses and guards to establish a mercenary forces to destabilize most Arab countries that choose to have honest elected government.
There was no transfer of power from the national assembly to Toburk parliament which was highjacked by small group based in the far eastern part of the country and allied with well funded individuals residing in the united Arab Emirates.Therefor,it is the national assembly who have power.
The label of "Islamist' is being thrown around a lot in attempt to pull fast one the west.Amy one who is not beholden to foreign interests or powers,his loyalty belongs to his country and people,can not be bought,against cronyism, corruption,selling the country's assets and resources for certain countries on the cheap,against the theft of public and private properties and money is accused of being Islamist.
Most of Libya has been against the so called parliament not just Misurata.
Much the pres coverage of Libya is coming through sources that have a very vested interest to present the news in very inaccurate and incomplete way .It has been full of omission,a commission ,misrepresentation,and on many occasions outright false.
I meant to say that Tobruk parliament has NOT has much support among most Libyans…
