While observers and international media believe that the mercenary, the security stability files, and the opening of the coastal road are the most important issues facing the new authorities in Libya, the two heads of this authority are more busy these days with reference to their popular, social and regional bases.
At a time when the British “The Economist” magazine sees opening the coastal road as one of the tasks facing the new Libyan authorities, including the presidential and the government, despite the fact that holding the presidential and parliamentary elections in December is their primary function, the two heads of this authority are engaged in another direction.
Their starting line is beginning from their social and popular base, in the footsteps of what was to be chosen by the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum in Geneva.
For his part, Mohammed Menfi, the new Head of the Presidential Council, began his move with official and popular visits within the framework of the eastern region of Benghazi, where he met the Commander-in-Chief of the National Army, Khalifa Haftar, visited the University of Benghazi and met with the notables of Cyrenaica in his city Tobruk, while the new Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah preferred to narrow the circle further, starting from his city, Misurata, where he met “in the salon of his home” with the notables of the city.
The “Economist” had said in its report that Menfi and Dbeibah are facing some old problems, the biggest of which is the intervention of foreign powers in the countries, some of which do not want the new administration to succeed, but there was reason for hope in the past six months, as the ceasefire held to a large extent and prisoners were exchanged.
Between what international media platforms raise of serious issues before the two men, and what they really do, the axes and intentions in turn differ, while the citizens are only waiting for three files to be resolved towards elections, which are the Coronavirus file, electricity and service provision as well as what is possible of security and stability.
