A democratic revolution, the example of those of Tunisia and Egypt? Or a civil war between opposing factions, clans, tribes, historically in the struggle between them? E 'revolt on the alternative suspended from his Libyan outbreak, more than a month ago. It 's the question that deals with the analysis of governments, diplomats, public opinion, and from which they may depend on the future of the revolution and the fate of Allied intervention.
It is no secret that the insurgents in Benghazi have always represented as a democratic struggle against oppressive and bloody regime. "Between us we are lawyers, engineers, teachers, traders," he says from Benghazi Asmi Abdul Fattah, an architect the political transitional Council of the city.
The faith of the Democratic anti-Gaddafi is apparent from their applications-parliamentary representative system, independent judiciary, political and civil liberties - but especially from the Adda final at the old tribal system, which for years has marked the Libyan society. On one wall of the city center, significantly, dominates one huge written: "No to the tribal system." "The tribes of Libya, of Cyrenaica, Tripolitania against no longer exists - said by telephone from Tripoli, a woman lawyer who prefers to remain anonymous for security reasons -.
I am in Benghazi, but I live in Tripoli for years. The country has changed, the old divisions no longer exist. " This claim was questioned in his public speeches strasbordanti by Muammar Gaddafi. For the Rais, the revolt would be a tribal clash between east and west of the country, without his charismatic figure, would be to fight "a bloody civil war." Beyond the threats involved, the tribal nature of Libyan society remains a reality today.
In Libya there are 140 tribes, who spent named after towns and villages they occupy. Thirty of these have a dominant role. A, Warfalla represents one million Libyans out of a population of six million. Before the advent to power of Gaddafi in 1969, the division of tribes and clans to make the country a little more than a mere geographical expression, a weak ruler, Idriss I, three separate provinces, tribes and nomadic groups.
Despite the decades, the tribal identification retains all its force. The fate of Gaddafi began to falter when a series of major tribes - Awlad Ali, Zawiyya Az, Az-Zintan, Tarhun - were made against him. And one of the first and most important men to abandon the scheme was General Abdul Fattah Younes, a former interior minister, a member of a tribe of Cyrenaica adverse to Gaddafi.
"The need to stop with this tribal history of Libya. Libya is one, indivisible, as the capital Tripoli and will have, "he says, however, from Benghazi a member of the Democratic Libya Information Bureau." The heat rejected in the tribal label is understandable. If you want to show the world a democratic face, and gain their support, the rebels must surrender to the past history of brutal and warlike clan.
For the benefit of overcoming this history, we are the last 32 years. Under the rule of tyrannical and bloodthirsty Gaddafi, Libya is still continued. Oil revenues have spread wealth. The country has set up schools and hospitals. 85% of the population now lives around the two largest cities, Tripoli and Benghazi.
12 000 young Libyans studying abroad. The old tribes are mixed. Hundreds of members of the tribes of the West, and especially Warfalla Tarhun has always been the heart of the power to Gaddafi, now living in Benghazi, and they have now taken up arms against the tyrant. This makes modern, post-tribal, Libya and the insurgents, is not so straightforward.
The rebels have often used in recent weeks, the same weapons of propaganda and distortion of the reality of the regime. Prisoners were given a brutal fate. In the worst case killed at capture, at best, displayed as trophies for journalists. It reflects the old tribal and militant was also revealed in the speed with which the political demands and non-violent opposition have turned into armed conflict (a very different dynamic from that of the Egyptian revolt.
Here, on the day of clashes in Midan Tahrir, two young anti. Mubarak said they feel defeated by the mere fact of having thrown stones at the pro-regime mob that attacked them). "Hard to predict the evolution of the Libyan government, while the battle rages," said Paul Sullivan, an expert on Libya at Georgetown University.
How to say the sound of the bombs - Gaddafi, the allies, the insurgents - is still covering the answer to the question. Democratic uprising or civil war clan?
