It's all because of that 'whiteness' thing in a country that's 80 percent white? You demanded black majority rule in South Africa, but certainly don't want white majority rule in America.

A hint that the "import a new electorate" plan is not coming off as hoped?

Couldn't get through the whole thing because, from the first few paragraphs, it seems they think democracy can only continue if the Washington Post controls all of the information.

Oligarchy -or- Republic? Which would you rather live in? The Rule of Law™ is not a core Democratic idea, the Lynch Mob, however, is very Democratic.
[LIBYANEXPRESS] A camera on set, masked fighters surrounding the scene of the crime, automatic guns in hands, military vehicles and dead calm on the background are all it takes for producing a Hollywood-style or rather an ISIS-style mass execution of captives by the Libyan eastern big shot of the self-styled army of Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... ; Mahmoud al-Werfalli.
Mahmoud al-Werfalli carried out on Wednesday a new extrajudicial executions ceremony of ten prisoners who appeared on tape wearing blue, blindfolded with their hands tied to their backs.
On August 15, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for al-Werfalli for the war crime of murder. He is wanted by the court for his alleged role in the killing of 33 people in seven incidents that took place in and around Benghazi between June 2016 and July 2017.
The ICC prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, has a mandate to investigate crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide committed in Libya since February 15, 2011.
The International Criminal Court prosecutor renewed her appeal on last Friday to Libyan authorities to arrest Dignity Operation militias’ big shot who is wanted by the court for war crimes, after he was linked to a shocking video purported to show extrajudicial killings.
Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said in a statement that she is deeply concerned by a twin boom-mobileing in Benghazi that killed at least 34 people this week and that she is "equally appalled" by images purportedly showing commander Mahmoud al-Warfalli killing 10 people "in what appears to constitute retaliation" near the site of the bombings.
"I am dismayed that Mr. al-Werfalli appears to remain in a position of command, and allegedly continues to commit crimes with impunity, despite an official statement from the General Command of the Libyan National Army in August 2017 that Mr. al-Werfalli had been tossed in the slammer Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! and was under investigation by a military prosecutor," Bensouda said.
What made the killing of the prisoners more appalling than the mere murder it is was the fact that the killer al-Werfalli executed the ten men in the same spot where twin boom-mobileings took place a day before on Tuesday, when 34 people were killed and over 80 others were maimed, according to al-Jalaa Hospital in Benghazi.
The killing was rendered by Human Rights Watch a war crime and an act of retaliation of the Tuesday double bombing, saying "On January 24, accounts appeared on multiple news sites and social media displaying undated photos that allegedly show a commander from the Libyan National Army forces (LNA), Mahmoud al-Werfalli, wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC), appearing to execute 10 individuals, assumed to be detainees as they were dressed in blue prison uniforms."
The United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Support Mission in Libya said on its Twitter that it was alarmed by reports of brutal and outrageous summary executions in Benghazi on Wednesday.
It demanded the handing over of Mahmoud al-Werfalli immediately to the International Criminal Court in The Hague as it documented at least 5 similar cases, in 2017 alone, carried out or ordered by al-Werfalli, explaining that those responsible for committing or ordering summary executions are criminally liable under international law.

Obviously these various organizations are not on the right side of history as Libya is concerned.
Until someone takes a club to all of those crazy crap militias and provides some adult supervision to the central government, Libya will remain a failed state...of course, as long as Libya is a failed state, the UN has something to do.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] "May God demolish his home," was one of the statements attributed to Paleostinian Authority President, the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... in response to US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s decision to defy international law and accept Israel’s designation of Occupied Jerusalem as Israel’s ’eternal and undivided capital’.

Only a little bit of bias in this article...just a little
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Hezbollah’s election campaign for the upcoming Lebanese parliamentary elections in May heavily relies on fear-mongering about the possibility of a war with Israel.
Hezbollah has played a major role in formulating a new electoral law that helps it infiltrate parliamentary representation allotted to other Lebanese sects and gives it control over Shiite representation.
