Intl community has a plan and #Libya has another plan...

Natl Election Commission announces peaceful closure of electoral centres due to candidacy of #Saif #Gaddafi and #KhalifaHaftar in Zawiya Gharyan Khoms Zliten

Now add Mislata Tajura & Tripoli

#Libya’s National Elections Commission rejects #Saif #Gaddafi candidacy... then immediately deletes the rejection on the Facebook page.

Testing the pulse?

US State Dept SPOX, Samuel Warburg: There are problems with considering a #Saif #Gaddafi presidency due to his @IntlCrimCourt arrest warrants and the fact that he's still subject to US (OFAC) & Intl sanctions

As #Libya boils, #Haftar’s #P4BAA was in Moscow's Terminal A -"only used for private & business aviation”

#Wagner or seeking #Putin's orders on the timing of #KhalifaHaftar’s announcement?

Note: At the TIME of her ruling on *4 Nov* a US judge based her ruling on - #KhalifaHaftar is already a declared candidate. She was factually incorrect, yet erroneously suspended 3 civil cases.

#Haftar declared his candidacy on *16 November*

Because of his smile next to Saif #Gaddafi...
Reports from the Sebha Security Directorate that Saddam #Haftar’s forces stormed HNEC-Sebha and home of Brigadier General Muhammad Bishir - to arrest him.

This is #KhalifaHaftar’s #Democracy.

Election integrity in #Haftar-controlled #Libya: Reports of #LAAF withholding soldiers’ salaries until surrendering electorial cards.

USG will NEVER probe fellow US citizen, #KhalifaHaftar for ballot rigging, will they?

Election integrity in #Haftar-controlled #Libya: NOT one-man-one-vote. One-man-96-electorial cards - ALL slated for Khalifa.

#Libya: As #SaifAlIslam's lawyer Al-Zaidi file an appeal to #Gaddaf’s exclusion, the court was closed by an armed milita to prevent that #Democratic process by arresting the judge.

Accused: Saddam #Haftar’s Tariq Bin Ziyad brigade

#France, #Germany, #Italy, #UK and #USA: This election is “#Libyan led” & “#Libya’n owned”. Meaning “led” by armed militias? Is the Intl community shamefully willing to allow guns to impugn the democratic process with impunity?

To watch: The Zawiya ruling to circumvent filing a #KhalifaHaftar-disqualification in #Haftar’s #Benghazi lair – the Court CANCELLED @LyHNEC approval* of Khalifa’s application.

*Just like #HNEC-disqualified Abusahmain, Khalifa has a Gaddafi-era conviction
..and #KhalifaHaftar CONFIRMS in video his #HNEC-disqualifying Gaddafi-era conviction from “93-‘94”:

“Some were sentenced to imprisonment. Some to death. I was sentenced to death.”

Despite saying it’s “Libyan-led” and “Libyan-owned” the UK Envoy influences the ELECTION by advocating for the exclusion of Saif (#Haftar's benefit) - while downplaying armed militias seizing ballots & closing appeal courts.

#Libya

“Instead of seeking to address head-on the irreconcilable positons of different Libyan stake holders and the pending issue[s]... the Paris gathering was merely superficial diplomacy aimed at asserting #France’s status as a major player in #Libya’s future”

foreignpolicy.com/2021/12/03/lib…
SecState defines #Libya. Yet, USG pushes the election.

“#Democracy is facing a moment of reckoning.
It’s happening in authoritarian countries, where rulers have restricted people’s freedoms.. cracked down on political opponents with increasing brutality"

usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
“Russia is backing Saif's candidacy, [Emad Badi] notes” implies the USG backs #KhalifaHaftar. Is the USG soooo naïve-to-believe that Putin hasn’t gauged that - either Saif or #Haftar – #Russia wins.

#Putin has ties to BOTH horses

“Spoilers were the very architects of the electoral process”. In audacious revisionist history some of “the spoilers” state this election is a result of a “Libyan-led and #Libya'n-owned political process.”

Height of Folly: Within the #KhalifaHaftar-controlled, armed camp of East and now, South #Libya, the Intl Community wants an election held... AND accepted by all as “free and fair”.

Given the frequency of US Ambassador Norland’s known get-togethers with #HNEC’s Sayeh, it could be referred to as “Coercion” and “Foreign Election Interference”- 20 Dec. 16 Dec. 17 Nov. & 17 Oct.

Yet another illustration of election “coercion” is US Ambassador Norland’s THREAT of unilateral US OFAC sanctions for those who support a legitimate pause on #Libya’s poll.

Actually, the #Libya’n image speaks more about the political ambition of each actor and that it occurred the day after UN’s Williams met #Haftar.

Also, isn't #KhalifaHaftar riding higher in his seat unnaturally? Booster for the megalomaniac’s ego?

Well, that’s embarrassing. #KhalifaHaftar pursued* a rapprochement with #Turkey and specifically, #Erdogan. The Field Marshal was snubbed by the President.

Clarified & diplomatically legit: #Haftar "had one condition, which was to meet.. Erdoğan."
"Since Haftar has no official position, the president said it would be more appropriate if Haftar met with [FM or VP] but Haftar did not come.”

Given the times the US envoy met with #HNEC Sayeh - *IF* Norland KNEW of candidates’ “nomination” fraud but didn’t EXPOSE and STILL INSISTED on #Libya’s 24 Dec poll – is election “coercion”.

After abetting instability for a warlord, #Wagner’s Prigozhin, advocates* for #authoritarianism by election: “#Libya’ns want stability and this necessitates tough personalities; referring to #Haftar, #Bashagha & Saleh”.

*Is a self-fulling prophesy.

Wondering why #Haftar+sons never received an ICC #WarCrimes indictment? Though facing charges for “committing or presiding over.. 2016 Benghazi siege”- ICC’s Bensouda implicated the UNSC for its ‘failure to execute arrest warrants’ in #Libya.

...as the UNSC blocked *ICC arrest warrants* in #Libya while the US+UK pushes Saif’s election disqualification based on *ICC arrest warrants* - is the Intl Community clearing-the-field for #KhalifaHaftar to run unimpeded?
