Weary Libyans missing life under Gaddafi

Five years after the rebellion that killed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, residents of the capital and the country in chaos, frustrated everyday troubles, missing life under "long-time dictator," according to AFP.Half a decade after Gaddafi was captured and killed, Libya is still unstable, with political and military rival forces sabotage viable state and fight against armed groups, and the residents of Tripoli say they are exhausted shortages, rising prices and a lack of money, while the government and the warring militias fighting for control of the fragmented country rich in oil.

"I hate to say this, but we lived better under the previous regime," says 42-year-old pharmacist Fayza al-Naas, adding that today the Libyan people waiting for hours in front of the banks would not prayed a little of their own money, while all three times more expensive.On the other hand, some Libyans emphasize that the chaos in the country is expanding as a result of decades of bad administration under former dictator."Today's fighting Libyans are a logical consequence of 42 years of systematic destruction and sabotage" of the country, says Abdulrahman Abdelal, an architect looking for work.

The Government of National Unity, supported by the United Nations, seeks to consolidate power throughout the country since been established in Tripoli in March this year, while her rival parliament in the far east of the country refuses to cede power, reminiscent of the French agency.On Friday, the government suffered another blow when her opponent's forces captured the key offices in the capital and declared re-entry into force of the third administration which has previously been based in Tripoli.

Exemption from 2011

Gaddafi, who has ruled Libya 42 years, was killed on 20 October 2011 while trying to escape from his hometown of Sirte, and three days later the former rebel National Transitional Council (NTV) declared "total liberation" of Libya and announced that more than 30,000 people died in devetomjesečnoj rebellion with support of NATO, which began as part of the "Arab spring".

Meanwhile, radical armed groups have taken advantage of the Libyan rebellion as a pretext for the creation of zones of influence and violence to spread. Libya is even more plunged into chaos, which is why the foreign delegations withdrew from the country, and exports of oil has fallen sharply since the closed terminals for delivery.General commotion after Gaddafi ouster and murder allowed the group ISIL to create a foothold on Europe's doorstep, after last June took Sirt.

Forces loyal to the Government of National Unity to five months fighting to drive out the last members of this group of former strongholds, with the support of air attacks of the United States.Loyalists has weakened the fight against ISIL, but forces led by Marshal controversial last month captured the key oil terminals in the east, allowing the National oil company to continue to export crude oil.

Savior Libya

Parliament in the east of the country supports Khalifa haftorah, which presents itself as "the savior of Libya", in front of the growing threat of ISIL, but at the same time creates deep divisions.Although haftorah army drove most of ISIL fighters in Benghazi, where the rebellion originated in 2011, critics accused him that his only goal is to get their hands the power to establish a new military dictatorship."The Libyan people are forced to choose between two extremes: the chaos with the militias and armed groups as dominant forces, or military rule," said Libyan analyst Muhammad Aljara from the center "Rafic Hariri" for the Middle East, adding that it does not offer no other plausible option.

Long-term chaos is, in addition, allow traffickers to step up its lucrative trade in the Mediterranean region, where hundreds of migrants who dream of Europe drowning near the Libyan coast, concludes the French agency.
