On Dec 6th, #Libya 's #HoR adopted a law establishing a constitutional court to be based in #Benghazi & transforming the Tripoli-based Supreme #Court into a Cassation Court. Background, validity, & implication: 🧵
I-Background:
1.a)In legal terms, the origin of Libya’s current crisis goes back to a ruling by the supreme court’s constitutional chamber issued in Nov. 2014 and annulling HoR election.
1.a)In legal terms, the origin of Libya’s current crisis goes back to a ruling by the supreme court’s constitutional chamber issued in Nov. 2014 and annulling HoR election.
1.b) From a legal standpoint: the current HoR is not the elected house parliament of Libya, but a body revived by the LPA as a party to a conflict and partner in a process together with the HCS also revived by the same Agreement.
1/10 A high-level Turkish delegation travelled to #Tripoli yesterday and signed a series of MoUs with the #GNU.
This latest development introduces a new episode to the Libyan crisis that will have repercussions on national, regional, and international levels. 🧵

2/10 The MoUs were kept secret, with only #Turkey & Dabaiba’s inner circle aware of the agreements. Many ministers within the GNU found out last minute without having access to the text itself.
Dabaiba’s foreign allies such as the UAE have also been kept in the dark.

3/10 Dabaiba, like his predecessor Sarraj, signed the agreements out of despair to ensure Turkey’s role as a strategic ally to stay in power.
For him, the deal is essential as he thinks only Turkish can help him contain and manage his alliance of armed groups in Tripoli.

1. #Libya’s #constitutional basis (not) agreed upon btw #HoR-HCS was released cutt.ly/LZhfoMJ. “Embarrassing” doc: creates more prb than CDA draft & reveals hasty drafting. Instead of bringing 2 houses together, it is now dividing each of them. Observations on this doc:
2. Note: The text was supposed to be an amended version of the CDA’s draft constitution. Unless explicitly mentioned, the below observations deal only with amendments inserted during the two houses' Cairo-Geneva talks.
3. Art 2 on minority languages makes them official “in areas where they are spoken”. Not acceptable to minority groups who want them official languages of the State. CDA original text remained constructively vague and envisioned a parliamentary session to deal w the matter.
1/14 Despite reports & statements, the #HoR-HSC Cairo meeting failed to reach a compromise on a constitutional basis for elections in #Libya. They have never been as far from this goal. But, their own measure of success is a different one from facilitating lections. THREAD
2/14 elections failed so far over only 2 provisions: eligibility conditions, & sequencing of elections. Current talks chose to use the draft constitution as an interim basis for elex and, to that effect, sought to amend its ‘’divisive issues’’. This was a recipe for failure:
3/14 By using the CDA draft, HoR-HSC automatically added a long -and ever-extending- list of unsurmountable issues. These include (in addition to eligibility and elections sequencing):
headquarters of the 2 parliament chambers;
Senate composition; &
decentralization.

has finally cut through
Media cannot find positives to promote this LNP government any further
A further eroding of the Democratic process in shutting down debate in #HoR question time cannot be defended by the #MSM, nor can it be glossed over

As the tension between CBL chairman and Al-Sarraj increases, lets have a look at some unknown/forgotten details:
Before 2011, because of his good relations with Mohammed Al-Bukhari (minister of finance in Algaddafi era) & and with Algaddafi regimen in general(reasons?). He was appointed as a chairman of Al-Omma bank (Nation bank) in 1990.
As soon as he started his job he became well known for his embezzlement, illegal deals, bribes and unlawful credits particularly for Al-Gaddafi men for example: Khalifa Almahdawy and Abdel Rahman Alsaid.
This made Bait Al-Mal (the following minster of finance)exempt him in 1996-
