The current United Nations-sponsored meetings in Geneva are a travesty.

The Libyan Popular National Movement stated;

“The “internationally recognized” government was elected by a fractional minority of Libyans under a system that denied the majority a voice. The Political Isolation Law remains in force, silencing any person or organization who stands against the February 17th overthrow of the Jamahiriyah.

The Geneva delegation is comprised solely of representatives of the illegitimate parliaments of Tripoli and Tobruk, former members of the NTC and militia leaders. The Tribes and Libyan people, including nearly 3 million exiles, are excluded.”

The LPNM demand a fully inclusive process, representative of all Libyan people, the Tribes, humanitarian and civil society organizations, who can rightfully speak for the victims of war, the political prisoners, the disappeared and the displaced.

“We cannot create a positive political atmosphere in the presence of tens of thousands of detainees held in secret and public prisons outside the authority of the state, the missing and the martyrs and the thousands of families who do not know where their loved ones are. Before dialogue, there is an urgent need to terminate this horrific legacy and secure the release of all detainees. Crimes and continued atrocities must be confronted and there must be justice. To think one can create a unity government on the current foundations is delusional,  and forcing the issue, while ignoring more pressing concerns, is only going to exacerbate tensions, not resolve them.”

On January 21, the S.C.W.T. (Social Council of the Tribes of Warfalla), withdrew from the organization of the Supreme Council of Libyan Tribes and Cities. Their actions were a protest against the unfairness of the Geneva talks and an expression of outrage and frustration at the continued lack of acknowledgment and respect for Libya’s Tribes.

Ojaili Salam Abrenne, spokesman for the Supreme Council of Libyan Tribes and Cities,  said in an interview with Afrigate News  that he fully understands the decision of  Bani Walid’s  Warfalla Tribe.

Since 2011, Libya has been in a dark tunnel.

Although he supports peaceful change, the Tribes have encountered plots within plots behind the ongoing destruction of their country, a foreign conspiracy unlike any witnessed before. Between NATO bearing down on the people with its full might on the one hand, competing foreign-funded militias and the rise of political Islam on the other, the nation has been embroiled in an endless cycle of savage violence and chaos. There are numerous obstacles to progress.

Abrenne was encouraged by the roadmap presented in the final statement of the Supreme Council of Tribes and Cities in May, 2014. The 15 point plan was realistic and absolutely necessary to move the country forward towards peace, reconciliation, national healing and the establishment of order and the rule of law. As cohesion among the Tribes is vital to the plan’s success, Abrenne hopes for a new beginning with the next Tribal conference to be held soon in Tobruk.

Today the Social Council of the Qadhadhfa tribe declared that they do not recognize any statement or position made in its name, whether at home or abroad.

The United Nations-NATO agenda has always been to destroy the Libyan Tribes and instate a compliant puppet regime, indifferent to the needs of the people, that will facilitate the unobstructed theft of Libya’s resources.

The current rebellion of the Tribes is the best possible response to the foreign mandate. With their refusal to acknowledge any decisions, positions and statements made in the name of the Tribes by either the power brokers in Tripoli, Tobruk, Geneva, Paris, London, New York or Washington, they ensure that the final outcome of the Geneva meetings will have no force, no effect and no legitimacy in Libya.
