| HoR orders Thinni to reinstate suspended Interior Minister Sinki |
| 2015-03-17 |
| [Libya Herald] The House of Representatives (HoR) has instructed Prime Minister Abdullah Thinni to reinstate the suspended Interior Minister Omar Al-Sinki. In a letter directed to the Prime Minister yesterday, HoR President Agheela Saleh instructed Thinni to enable Sinki to resume his duties effective Sunday. The letter said that this decision was based on the results of the investigation by the pertinent committee. It will be recalled that Prime Minister Abdullah Thinni removed Sinki from his post on 10 February four days after the Interior Minister had accused General Khalifa Hafter of being a dictator and had called for UNSMIL's dialogue to be held in Misrata, his home town. The statements by Sinki came when he had given a controversial interview the previous Wednesday to Le Monde when he was in Gay Paree for talks with the French government. He had said that Hafter had "no role in Libya's future" and described him as a dictator who had planned to kidnap the government. He had added that he recalled speaking to Hafter several times and asserted that the general had told him that he wished to be president. He warned Hafter had to be isolated "or he will isolate us". |
