RECENT POLITICAL CRISIS IN LIBYA

 

      The year of 2011 provided the marks of the recent historical events and series of military and political insurgency when people of their country from different areas in Libya unite together to oust one of the most powerful man Colonel Muammar Gaddafi the head of states. The people and their organization created a peaceful protest last February 17 of 2011 but the infiltration of Gaddafi’s military forces have prevented them. Report shows that more than 200 people has been killed and injured in Benghazi because of such incidents that started more fierce rebellious outrage. The protest against the man have spread all throughout the country that even create a stronger forces to oust him but Gaddafi’s long term loyalist and military have counter measure such forces to also create a group of stronger forces on his side.

      This situation created a so called Libyan Civil War. The opposition resolution is to remove Gaddafi from his position to form a new government that he has served from 1969 up to 2011 his 42 years of long tenure without replacement have still shown his hunger and greed in power that he will not go down in his position until his last breath that he has even call upon their people to fight for him.  The UN Security Council has also passes a resolution on February 26 to further remind the head of state upon using military forces and weapons of massive destruction in facing his antagonist but Gaddafi has disregarded such council and continue his forces in eliminating those people who tried to oppose his leadership position.

      By March they have strong military and loyal forces to penetrate Benghazi’s control over by Gadaffi’s leadership but the rebel forces would fight back to upheld their position. The series of destructive forces and bombing have created a kiosk in most of their community to look back and escape the violence they have been facing there are about 80,000 people who have crossed the borders of Tunisia in whatever way possible in order to live. Refugee from all over the world mostly migrant workers from Sub-Saharan Africa, Philippines, India, China, Bangladesh and other countries have carried their load desperately and willingly just to get out and survive in this chaos.

      This incident has brought the UN resolution to provide a military intervention in order to protect the civilian from the wrath of war, during the 19th day of March the UN military forces have declared a “no fly zone”. The military coalition headed by France, United Kingdom and United States to keep strategic control over the areas and borders in order to prevent unnecessary military forces of Gaddafi’s take over. In this area they have provided Jet Fighters and launching a hundred tomahawk missile air strikes in most Libyan tanks in support of “operation odyssey”. By August the Libyan rebel group has regained their power that they have strongly engaged in coastline offense that overthrown Gaddafi’s men and took control on Tripoli. But Gaddafi remained hidden.

      On September 16 The U.N. Security Council declared the permission on Libya and the U.N. General Assembly approves the request to authorize interim government representative as Libya’s sole representatives at the United Nation (UN) recognizing the National Transitional Council of Libya (NTC) so that they can have an interim government that is legal. The NTC has also issued a Constitutional Declaration last August of 2011 so that they can establish a democratic system of government. As early as February the NTC have already initiated its intention to act as a revolutionary council that will constitute a transition of government that will form the regulatory government that will be recognized as legitimate in Libya headed by executive board whose Chairman is Mahmoud Jibril from March 5 to 23rd of October and presently the interim Prime Minister of Libya.

      Finally on October 20 Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has been captured and killed in his hometown in Sirte although it created confusion and rumors that it is not really his body till it has been proven and so it does. While some believed that this kind of leadership will never happen again in their country. Two loyalist of Muammar Gaddafi has decided to bury his body in a secret place in Sahara Desert so that they can perform a decent burial with the man. This announcement is a monumental history in Libya and this confirmation leads to victory that the long decade of suppression and political supremacy crisis in Libya has finally ended.
