Was ist los in Libyen? Ursachen, Wirkung und Entwicklung / Sammelstrang

[Steiner]

Was schon im Oktober von den NTC-Ratten verkündet wurde, ist jetzt noch einmal bestätigt worden. Die Scharia soll als "Rechtsgrundlage" im neuen Libyen eingeführt werden.

Sharia should be 'main' source of Libya legislation: NTC

TRIPOLI — Libya's outgoing National Transitional Council said on Thursday that Islamic law (sharia) should be the "main" source of legislation and that this should not be subject to a referendum.

"The Libyan people are attached to Islam, as a religion and legislation," NTC spokesman Saleh Darhoub said, reading from a statement.

"As such the National Transitional Council recommends that the (next) congress make sharia the main source of legislation.

"And this should not be subject to a referendum," he added, speaking to journalists in Tripoli.

He later explained that the decision was made to reassure elements of society fearful of being saddled with a constitution that does not take into account Islamic law, or sharia.

"We are not afraid of holding a referendum on sharia. But we wanted to reassure elements of society who are scared of the referendum," Darhoub said.

Libyans are to vote on Saturday for a General National Congress, which will be tasked with appointing a new government and a constituent authority.

The constitution needs to be approved in a national referendum, under a transition framework laid out by the NTC, which took power when long-time leader Moamer Kadhafi was slain last year.

Some of the key issues to be determined by the constitution are the form of governance, the weight of Islam in state and society, the role of women and the rights of minorities.

After the constitution is approved, the newly elected congress will have 30 days to issue a new election law, with elections for a government to be held 180 days after that, according to the NTC's roadmap.

If these benchmarks are met, the new authorities will be in power for a period of roughly 12 months, a short window of opportunity to tackle major challenges such as disarming militias and reviving the judiciary.

Hundreds of armed men calling for Islamic law and rejecting democracy as "Western" staged a demonstration last month in the eastern city of Benghazi, which held the NTC's war-time headquarters.

Well-armed Islamist groups in the east, such as the Partisans of Sharia, oppose the vote, saying that the conservative Muslim country needs no constitution other than the Koran.

Libya's interim rulers say that radical Islamists are a minority.

There are no sizeable religious minorities in the oil-rich nation and secular values have little traction among conservative Sunni Muslims who make up the majority of the population.

Zudem gehen Analysten davon aus, dass die radikal islamische Muslim Brotherhood die Mehrheit der Wahlstimmen bei der morgen anstehenden Verfassungswahl erhalten wird. Es soll auch bereits ein Deal zwischen dem NTC und der MB ausgehandelt worden sein....

Libya elections: Muslim Brotherhood set to lead government

Libya's top politicians have hatched a deal that would see the Muslim Brotherhood lead the government after the country's first free elections in almost five decades takes place on Sunday.

While the elections for a 200-member National Congress is unlikely to grant a majority to any one faction, the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies are confident they can join their counterparts in Tunisia and Egypt at the helm of leadership.

Negotiations between the Muslim Brotherhood and a secular-based political movement led by former interim prime minister Mahmoud Jibril have focused on forming a post-election government as soon as the result is known.

An adviser to Mr Jibril said the former prime minister was likely to take the post of figurehead president with Mustafa Abu Shagour, currently interim deputy prime minister of the Muslim Brotherhood, taking the prime minister's slot as head of government.

The Muslim Brotherhood would dominate the ministries.

In the run-up to the elections, Libya's interim government has struggled to maintain law and order.

Unbekannte haben heute in Benghazi einen NTC-Rattenhelikopter mit Flak Geschützen beschossen. Ein offizieller Verteter der NTC-Wahlkommission wurde dabei getötet

A helicopter carrying voting material for Saturday's election in Libya made a forced landing near the eastern town of Benghazi on Friday after being struck by anti-aircraft fire in an attack which killed one person on board, a local official said.

It was the latest attempt to derail elections in a region where many seek more autonomy and argue they will be under-represented in a new assembly that will name a prime minister and pave the way for full parliamentary polls next year.

"We were preparing to receive the voting material as it arrived on a helicopter from Tripoli but it was hit and one man died," Ahmed Abdelmalik, an employee at the local branch of the election commission told Reuters.

Hamed Al-Hassi, head of the military council for the Cyrenaica region, confirmed the incident but said the identity of the attackers was not immediately known.

Protests by groups seeking greater autonomy in the east earlier forced the closure of three ports, shutting down around half of Libya's oil exporting capacity.

Bei missliebigen Regimen sprechen die gleichgeschalteten Medien davon, dass sie keine Legitimation haben, wenn die Wahlbeteiligung so niedrig ausfällt. Widerwärtiges Pack!

Viele Libyer sind dem Wahlboykott offenbar gefolgt - aus den unterschiedlichsten Motiven.

Da werden, wie gesagt, verschiedene Motive im Spiele sein. Die Separatisten in der Cyrenaika haben sicher andere Motive als die Gaddafianer in Tripolitanien oder im Süden.

Die meisten werden einfach ernüchtert sein von der "Revolution", die den Kolonialherren und den neuen einheimischen Unterdrückern Vorteile, dem Volk nur Nachteile gebrach hat.

Weil Bani Walid angeblich 2 Journalisten aus Misrata festhält drohen diese nun mit einem militärischen Angriff auf Bani Walid. Ein Misrata Rattenkommandat hat der Stadt ein 48 Stunden Ultimatum ausgehändigt.....

TRIPOLI, Libya — A Libyan militia commander says two local journalists are being held in a town known for its support of deposed ruler Moammar Gadhafi.

The dispute is part of the overall lack of security in Libya, where rival militias and armed groups control various parts of the country in the absence of a strong central government and army.

Mohammed al-Swehili, a commander from Misrata, said his forces were giving the captors in the town of Bani Walid 48 hours to free the journalists. If they are not released, he said Monday, forces from all over the country would attack Bani Walid.
