Botragelad: 1:37am On May 13
Tripoli descended into chaos Monday following the reported assassination of Abdel Ghani al-Kikli, known as "Gheniwa," the powerful commander of Libya's Stability Authority (SSA). Al-Kikli was allegedly killed during a meeting at the base of the 444th Combat Brigade in the capital's Abu Salim district. The assassination, reportedly ordered by 444th Brigade commander Mahmoud Hamza, has reignited fears of full-scale conflict in a country already fractured by years of political and armed division.

His death triggered intense clashes across Tripoli, with tanks deployed and civilian aircraft evacuated from Mitiga Airport. The Interior Ministry has urged residents to stay indoors as rival militias mobilize.

The violence comes amid rising tensions between Libya's eastern and western power blocs. Despite a 2020 ceasefire, the nation remains divided-between General Khalifa Haftar's forces in the east and the Tripoli-based government in the west, led by interim Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah. Political instability, disputes over control of sovereign institutions, and a lack of a unified budget continue to plague the country.

International observers, including the United Nations Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), have called for calm and urged all factions to avoid further escalation. UNSMIL warned that any sustained violence could derail political reconciliation and urged a return to dialogue.

The renewed instability now casts a shadow over Libya's tentative economic recovery. The International Monetary Fund recently forecast a rebound in 2025, driven by rising oil production. However, major oil fields in the east have faced repeated shutdowns amid political disputes, and a return to widespread conflict could jeopardize Libya's primary source of revenue and foreign exchange-its oil exports-threatening both domestic stability and regional energy markets.

Libya has known no Peace since Mamman Gaddafi was conspired against and assassinated by the West because of his Pan African views.
Where is the peace in the Congo after the West assassinated Patrice Lumumba?

This is the legacy of one dangerous Barack Hussein Obama.
For whatever reason, he made the destruction of the African continent a paramount goal of his regime.
Started all sorts of fires in different places in the continent just to prove his loyalty to his white masters.
Today, from Boko Haram in Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon, to ISIS and ISWAP in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, terror groups get their funding and training from Libya destroyed by NATO.
Thousands of black Africans have been killed in Libya or in the Mediterranean as a result. Yet, this was Libya that used to be the most peaceful under Gaddafi..
Obama was a menace to Africa ..

I once read that Gaddafi was on the notion that Africa as a continent do not need the west for anything (loans, grants, aid). He proposed that all the countries should be one in some sort of United States of Africa. That was a threat to the westerners and they had to take him out.

Don't mind them. They are just reacting like bots.

Gaddafi's death was caused by violent Arab Spring/protest which began in Tunisia when an unemployed boy set himself ablaze.
The violent protest spread to other Arab nations and led to the removal & death of many dictators in Arab nations including Egypt.
Assad of Syria was almost removed too but Russia had to intervene because of the agreement they had with Assad's late father

Except there is #inec reform, through a petition forwarded by Randy Peter Akah, about the electronic transmission of results;which if granted by the Senate will definitely reduce the manipulation of results.
If not, Tinubu will arrange results in his bedroom in 2027.

If there brother kill another brother, they blame America.
Their religious leader direct them like that. They even give them fake evidences to that.

The West are behind the crisis in Africa. Their neocolonialism plan is to hold Africa by the jugular. They know once Africa get emancipated from them, they become feather weight.
From Thomas Sankara to Patrice Lumumba to Mahman Gaddafi those are the prominent and obvious ones.
When they see you with proactive intention to deliver your people, the next thing is to take you out. The reason Traore aligned with Russia.

See the legacies of Obama in Africa all over. This same man refused to sell ammunition to Jonathan to fight terrorist, because they the ones benefitting from it.

The reason I like Donald Trump. He's mind your country and let me mind my America.

African leaders need to wake up to give real leadership and not rulership
