New Prime Minister Abdurrahim El-Keib’s cabinet seems to have pleased NATO’s member nations, but it is drawing some loud criticism from the National Transitional Council (NTC)’s former PM, Ali Tarhouni.
Tarhouni, an economist who held the position on an interim basis before El-Keib was appointed on October 31, warned that the new cabinet was made up largely of rich backers of the new regime, cautioning that they are an “unelected elite.”
“It’s about time we heard the true voices of the masses … we need to start rebuilding this democratic constitutional movement,” Tarhouni warned. Several tribes have also criticized the cabinet’s makeup, insisting it was a “government of outsiders.”
So far silent on the matter, however, is the one voice which likely matters most, the Islamist leadership that was cut entirely out of the NTC’s cabinet, and which controls most of the NTC-loyal military forces in the nation. Keeping them out of the cabinet likely improved NATO’s opinion of it, but raises the possibility of a new civil war breaking out.

“It’s about time we heard the true voices of the masses …
You did Sir
And ignored them.
You stood by and watched as tens of thousands of them werre murdered by NATO for supporting Col Gaddaffi.
They spoke with their own and their children's lives.
You are nothing but a war criminal yourself.
Too late for crocodile tears.
The last thing the Archons are going to allow is the mantle of power to pass to the hands of the "masses." Regardless of rhetoric, the "unwashed" are not going to rule. The monied will always take control. Look at Egypt. The individual players will change but they are all of the same ilk. Money talks and the rest bend the knee (or die).
