Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath: The new government will have a similar fate to Hamad’s because Dabaiba will not give up the presidency of his government

Al Arabiya Al Hadath channel revealed that the Tobruk Parliament’s announcement to open the door for nominations for the new government raised fears that its fate would be identical to that of its predecessor, led by Osama Hamad, which was granted confidence by parliament in March 2022.

The channel confirmed, in a report on its website, that Hamad’s parallel government was unable to exercise its powers throughout the country, due to Dabaiba’s refusal, which is based in the capital, Tripoli, to hand over power except to a government granted confidence by an elected parliament.

It pointed out that the situation on the ground indicates that the fate of the new government will be similar to Hamad’s government, stressing that Dabaiba will not give up his presidency of the government, especially since he controls the capital and the western region, where most state institutions are located, which gives him a stronger position.

It pointed out that among the obstacles is also the agreement on the name of the prime minister and its members, and whether it will rely on competencies, or whether quotas will be the main factor in its formation.

The city that the government will take as its headquarters is one of the most prominent obstacles that may stand in its way, especially since the Dabaiba government is based in the capital, which means that the nascent government will not be able to rule from Tripoli, according to Al Arabiya.

It explained that the new government will have to take a city in the center of the country as its headquarters, such as Sirte, for example, which puts it before a new challenge, represented in the extent of its ability to extend its control over parts of the country.

It concluded by saying, “The armed militias are a major obstacle to that government, as it will have to seek international and regional support to help it confront those armed elements, which it seems that it will lack to a large extent, especially since the Dabaiba government has the support of some influential countries in the Libyan arena.”

It continued that the state of local consensus and agreement between the parliament, the Supreme Council of State, and the Presidential Council may push international parties to reconsider their support for the Dabaiba government, provided that the new government provides evidence that the interests of those countries in Libya will not be affected
