The headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood, destroyed by protesters against the the killing of lawyer and prominent Libyan political activist Abdelsalam al-Mosmary, are seen in Benghazi July 27, 2013. The party’s first national congress was held at luxury hotel in Tripoli on May 1 and was attended by hundreds of supporters from all parts of the country, in an event that signaled it as a thriving political force. Internal disputes within the rival National Forces Alliance and the political isolation law targeting former Qaddafi officials weakened the liberal National Forces Alliance, allowing the Muslim Brotherhood’s JCP to consolidate its grip on Libya’s political life.
The political wing of Libya’s Muslim Brotherhood was established in 2012 and has developed to be a major political force in Libya. He denied seeking to exclude rival political blocs within the parliament and denied any aims to impose the Muslim Brotherhood’s political plans on others. The Muslim Brotherhood’s JCP chief Mohammad Sawan has said that his party will seek compromise with rival parties to form “a consensual constitution.” He noted that national reconciliation, decentralization and the restructuring of government services and the economy were next in line in terms of his priorities. “Imposing state authority, control and sovereignty on the country’s soil and building the security and military institutions,” were top priorities, Maiteeq said. One of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya Saad Al Gazoy (2nd R) and other members attend a news conference in Benghazi August 5, 2013. Speaking on state television, Maiteeq listed security as his top priority. In his first speech after GNC speaker Nouri Abu Sahmein confirmed him as prime minister, Maiteeq vowed on Tuesday to empower state institutions and restore order. “What I understand is that Maiteeq is not a Muslim Brotherhood member, but that he is the product of an alliance between various Islamist groups,” Aqeel said during an interview on Al Arabiya News channel Wednesday. “We cannot, in any case, make Libya come out of this dark tunnel unless people come out by hundreds and thousands to say to the Muslim Brotherhood and to al-Qaeda: Enough,” he said.īut Izz Al-Din Aqeel, from the Libyan Republican Coalition, sought to dispel fear that Maiteeq would be serving a Muslim Brotherhood-led Islamist project. He said Libya is currently caught in a “dark tunnel” of Islamic extremism and needs another revolution to return to the path of democracy. Libyan writer Mohammad al-Houni described Maiteeq’s election as a “comic film directed by the Muslim Brotherhood and Libyan Fighting Group,” a sub-state armed group which operated in the country. “No reasonable man can sign the decision to appoint Maiteeq as prime minister,” he added. The GNC member said the speaker of the house - who named Maiteeq as prime minister - was “kidnapped” by the Muslim Brotherhood and their allies. “This goes against the Libyan revolution’s aspiration for freedom and democracy,” he told Al Arabiya.
Sharif al-Wafi, another GNC member, also dismissed Maiteeq’s confirmation as prime minister, condemning what he said was the “monopoly by one ideology” of Libya’s political life, in reference to Islamist parties led by the Muslim Brotherhood’s Justice and Construction Party (JCP). In Iraq, Nouri al-Maliki lost the parliamentary election in 2010 by two seats to a rival alliance, yet he formed a coalition government and became prime minister. Ahmad Maiteeq did not win the needed vote quorum and the extension of voting went against the constitution and was illegitimate,” Qumati told Al Arabiya News.
“Libya does not want a person similar to Nouri al-Maliki in Iraq. As a result, the voting was extended until he was able to win eight more votes in a step dismissed as illegitimate by many in the General National Congress (GNC) - the Libyan parliament.Ībdullah al-Qumati, a member of the General Congress Party, described the voting process as unconstitutional and illegitimate.
