Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan’s bizarre Thursday kidnapping by members of his own government’s security forces were part of an attempted “coup” by political rivals, according to Zeidan’s comments today.
“They wanted to overthrow the government,” Zeidan said, adding that members of the General National Council, the nation’s parliament, were involved in the plot.
The militia that captured Zeidan initially claimed to be executing an arrest warrant against him for corruption, and held him at the nation’s Interior Ministry before it was eventually revealed, hours later, that no such warrant existed.
Zeidan said his government will focus on security in the near term, pushing for militia factions not under the government’s direct control to disarm. His term in office remains very much in doubt, however, parliament is deadlocked on an election law and a “no confidence” vote against the current government could happen at any time.
The undemocratic of these kind of hand picked government by Saudis and UAE, the brutality of arm gangs are proven for few last years to be nothing but true, so why is it that western governments are silence and unable again to free the Libyan people from the Neo dictatorial, lawless system in Libya. Where is that Swedish war hungers regime of Neo Fascism and its Air Force to attack Libya and free the Libyan people, where is that zarkozi the French Neo mafia and that David Cameron, the Camelot of crocodile tears land to come out and lie to the Libyan people again about democracy.
West has served for what Saudis and UAE demanded from them to do in Libya, the very same regimes continuing with very same demand regarding Syria.
