Libya's Muslim Brotherhood. Where Do They Stand?
2022-11-13
[LIBYAREVIEW] Three days ago, the Head of Libya’s High Council of State (HCS), Khaled al-Mishri, claimed that holding elections requires an executive authority capable of extending its influence over all of Libya. The executive authority would have to be backed by a unified supervisory authority.

This was said during a meeting with the United States (US) Ambassador and Special Envoy to Libya, Richard Norland, accompanied by the Chargé d’Affairs at the US Embassy, Leslie Ordman, in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
Al-Mishri, affiliated with the Moslem Brüderbund in Libya, claims in more than one appearance that he is leading efforts to complete the elections in Libya. In addition, he pre-empted the expected negotiations with Parliament Speaker Ageela Saleh on the constitutional base. He did this by voting on controversial articles related to dual nationals and the candidacy of military personnel.

#2  A 2012 delegation of Global Muslim Brotherhood with leader Youssef Qaradawi’s International Union of Muslim Scholars..., was on a four-day visit to Libya... two individuals tied to U.K. and European Muslim Brotherhood were part of the delegation. Israeli analyst Jonathan D. Halevy’s article “Did The Libyan Leadership Deceive the West”... [states]: Qatari involvement is likely to produce a regime in Libya that follows the political orientation of Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, thereby giving the Muslim Brotherhood an open door in the new Libya. ... Western aid to overthrow Gaddafi’s tyrannical regime prepared the groundwork for the establishment of an Islamic state, which eventually may become hostile to the West. A post... reported on what the New York times called the “growing influence of Islamists in Libya”, identifying Qatari Muslim Brotherhood figure Ali Sallabi (aka Ali Salabi), already known to be the Revolution’s “spiritual leader and a close associate of Qaradawi, as well as for the first time Abel al-Rajazk Abu Hajar who is said to lead the Tripoli Municipal Governing Council and is described as a “Muslim Brotherhood figure.”

#1  Based on my last several years experience- elections may be overrated.
