Context: They kept their embassy open to arm and assist the Islamist Operation Dawn militia alliance that staged a violent coup in 2014 that forced the parliament and all other embassies to leave, organize weapons and mercenary trafficking and of course, the occupation of #Libya.

Indeed, not only did he grant Libyans the right to "travel freely", he also enabled domestic and international terrorists to travel freely and created a notorious Jihadi Highway between #Syria and #Libya. africanexus.org/libya/fuel-fac…
Flashback to "Operation Dawn," the #Turkey and #Qatar backed Islamist militias that overtook the American embassy and began its reigh of terror in #Libya. Bashaga -along with Sadiq Ghartiani and Salah Badi -was one of the architects of this coup. bbc.com/news/av/world-…
To force the Americans out and leave an open playing field, Ansar al Sharia/AQIM in #Libya attacked the US consulate in Benghazi 2 years earlier and murdered the U.S. ambassador. They were supported by the same Misrata militias that invaded Tripoli.
Unfortunately for #Libya, rather than raining the wrath of God on the the many terrorist acronyms that set up shop in Benghazi under the umbrella of the Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries, the Obama administration remarkably decided to gift them with their absence.
After that is an underdog story for the ages: how Operation Dignity alliance that defended the democratically elected parliament of #Libya in 2014 and left Tripoli with it, rebuilt the Libyan National Army in the east to fight one by one, IS to AQ, taking most of the country back
2015:"Publicly, western powers..support the..UN-mediated talks..between the democratically elected government now based in Tubruq+the Islamist and Misurata-backed coalition of militias+political groups that seized control of the capital last August" ft.com/content/d6bc14…
"Egypt and the United Arab Emirates provide robust military support to the government in Tubruq, while Turkey and Qatar are ensuring its breakaway rival in Tripoli can hold its own. All the while, Isis is enjoying the ungoverned space to grow." #Libya ft.com/content/d6bc14…
In this context, it is easy to understand the obsessive, hysterial hatred and propaganda campaigns of the Islamists and their many mouthpieces against #Libya|ns, their democratically elected parliament, their national army, and their allies such as the #UAE, #Egypt and #France.
In short, hell hath no fury as an Islamist interrupted. #Libya
