In a new development from North Africa, Pro Gaddafi's fighters re-emerged to take small revenge.
The clashes reportedly came after mass protests in the city of Benghazi happened on the weekend as well as subsequent resignation of NTC (National Transitional Council) deputy chief Abdel Hafiz Ghoga resulting into death of at least five NTC troops and injury to 30 others
Sabah al-Mukhtar, President of the Arab Lawyers Association explained to Russia Today that why another civil war is possible in the country.
“Reason number one is that the arms are still in the hands of the various militias in various areas," in addition to competing tribes in those areas, explained
“At the same time, the political views of the people are in conflict. You have a situation when people want Islam to be a part of the constitution, while you have others that are liberals who do not.”
“So you have the conflict on policies as well as the availability of arms,” he concluded.
Sabah al-Mukhtar also says there are dramatic divergences in what the NTC says and what it actually does.
“Many of them are actually from the old regime – including the leader who was a Minister of Justice under Gaddafi – and there are many other people like his deputy, like many others, who were men of Gaddafi and at the same time now they say, 'we will not allow those who benefited from Gaddafi`s regime to stand for elections.'"
The lawyer pointed out that the head of NTC himself served as a Minister of Justice under Gaddafi and turned blind eye to many injustices in the country, as told by RT.
