The Center for Research on Globalization reported yesterday on the growing Libyan resentment toward the current regime, which, save for Gaddafi, appears indistinguishable from the former.
Here are some excerpts from that article:
“On January 23, Libya SOS said NTC officials met secretly at an undisclosed location to adopt new election laws. Legal affairs head Salwa al-Digheili said secrecy was for ‘security reasons.’”
“On January 2, an earlier draft was released, provoking anger. Dual-nationals were barred from seeking office. A 10% quota for women in Parliament was set. Feminists called it ‘insulting.’ They oppose any quota.”
Misrata council spokesman Mohamed Benrasali said:
“Everywhere there have been (anti-NTC) sit-ins and demonstrations. (People are) accusing it of no transparency and dragging its feet and not taking any actions for transitional justice, and many, many (other) issues.”
“We feel that the head of the regime has changed, but the rest of the regime is in place.”
“It seems to us that these people are no different than Gaddafi, and they only speak the language of force.”
