Tripoli –The wave of protests continues in a number of Libyan cities amid mounting popular anger over the deterioration of basic services, especially the electricity crisis, at a time when an expert in international relations has warned that the crisis has gone beyond the livelihood aspect and has turned into a crisis of political legitimacy that threatens the future stability of the country.
Dr. Elias Al-Baroni explained, in press statements, that the protests are no longer limited to demanding improved services, but rather have become a reflection of an increasing rejection of the political system, considering that the Libyan citizen has come to associate political division with mismanagement and the continued collapse of services.
Al-Baroni pointed out that the expansion of the protests reflects on Libya’s image before the international community, affects investor confidence and economic relations, and may also push international and regional parties to strengthen their intervention in the Libyan file, in light of the continuing state of institutional division.
He added that international efforts aimed at organizing elections are facing increasing challenges, explaining that the crisis is no longer linked only to approving electoral laws, but rather to rebuilding trust between citizens and state institutions, which makes any electoral entitlement vulnerable to reproducing the crisis if it takes place under the current circumstances.
The expert suggested four possible scenarios, including the continuation of the status quo, increasing international pressure to restructure the political track, escalating the crisis towards a broader security and political explosion, or reaching a comprehensive settlement that requires internal consensus and regional and international support.
He stressed that the continued security tensions, especially in strategic areas, threaten investment and raise concerns about irregular migration and cross-border crime, stressing that Libya’s future has become linked to the ability of local parties to agree, and not to external solutions alone.
