Tripoli, 20 October 2014:
Thinni hoped that neighbouring states “respect the will of the Libyan people and do not stand . . .[restrict]with the wrongdoers who seek to put the country under the control of a specific ideological party that wants to control the Libyan people and wants to impose its will on the Libyan people”.
Prime Minister Thinni was responding to a question about his planned visit to Sudan, a country that allegedly supported the Libya Dawn forces in the early days of Libya Dawn’s military takeover of Tripoli this summer.
“This cannot happen”, Thinni stressed in a television interview Friday on the Pro government and pro House of Representatives (HoR) Zintan TV.
“Whoever wants to rule the Libyan people has to resort to the ballot box and the choices of the Libyan people must be respected. But there is an aggressive group that has gone outside custom and law, claiming that it wants to rule Libya”.
“It is an honour for us to die rather than be under darkness and tyranny. For if we are to accept darkness and tyranny it would have been better for us to accept it under the rule of Qaddafi. But after 42 years of injustice and tyranny for the Libyan people, comes a group belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood wanting to rule the Libyan people”.
“Unfortunately, the word Muslim Brotherhood does not apply to them. Anyone who claims to follow Islam cannot performed such propaganda. They do not belong to Islam, either closely or from afar, and they use Islam as a cover for their own goals. They receive their orders from their masters abroad for the destruction of the Libyan people and this cannot happen.
Libya’s fight against terrorism
“In all certainty there is a fierce campaigned waged against Libya by these (terror) groups. Support arrives to them from all the states that do not want stability in Libya and want to divide Libya”.
“Of course, Libya has not been and will not be divided. After the struggle of Libya and the sacrifices of the ancestors, for a group to turn up and divide Libya and at the expense of a narrow ideology, an ideology with no connection or following to the homeland”.
“Is it conceivable that a human being who claims to be patriotic to ignite a fire at the (Tripoli International) airport in igniting (the fire) say “Allah Akbar” (God is Greatest). Who is this person calling on God’s help for? Against Israel? Or against the assets of the Libyan people which are destroyed now?”
“Who bears responsibility for what happened in Tripoli or what happened in Wershafana or Qasr Ben Ghashir or in the outskirts of Tripoli or in the region of 27 km? ”
“This is systematic destruction and they claim that Tripoli is safe and say that fuel is available. Is life the availability of fuel. This is unfortunate. Whoever carried out this campaign is a failed director with failed actors”.
