FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On Tuesday, Cyrenaica elected a regional congress and declared semi-autonomy from Libya’s capital, Tripoli.
The congress appointed Ahmed al-Zubair Ahmed, a member of National Transitional Council (NTC), as the leader of its governing council, who pledged to protect the rights of the eastern region.
Thousands of major tribal leaders and militia commanders attended the ceremony in the region’s capital, Benghazi.
Cyrenaica, where the country’s popular revolution against Gaddafi’s four-decade-long rule erupted last year, stretches from the central city of Sirte to the Egyptian border in the east.
The NTC has protested the autonomy as a “blatant call for fragmentation.”
“We are not prepared to divide Libya. They should know that there are infiltrators and remnants of Gaddafi’s regime trying to exploit them now and we are ready to deter them, even with force,” said leader of NTC Mustafa Abdel Jalil.
Abdel Jalil has accused some Arab countries of supporting and financing the tribal leaders, who have declared autonomy in the east of the country.
Meanwhile, Libyans in several major cities, including Benghazi, have taken to the streets to reject the federal system of government. They were carrying banners and shouting slogans emphasizing national unity and reconstruction in the country while highlighting Tripoli as the only capital.
