Another view on Libya and the leadership of Mahmoud Jibril.

[white_wolf]

The NTC, which is an unstable coalition of former top Gaddafi officials, CIA assets and Islamist tendencies, is already confronting divisions in its ranks. Islamist leaders are openly critical of the NTC’s so-called prime minister, Mahmoud Jibril, who has also acted as the regime’s foreign envoy in its dealings with the Western powers. Jibril was head of Gaddafi’s national economic development board before defecting to the opposition.

Earlier this week, the Associated Press reported the comments of Anes Sharif, a spokesman for the Tripoli military council. Sharif declared that Jibril had lost the confidence of the population throughout the country and called for his resignation. “He’s been living for the last six months outside the country. He is appointing people depending on their loyalty to him, not depending on their worth and their activities in the revolution. We think he’s a project for a new dictator,” Sharif said. The head of the Tripoli military council is Abdel Hakim Belhaj, a former leader of the Al Qaeda-linked Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).

This smells more and more like an economical hit.
