The Corruption Cooperative
Along with Badi (UNSC war criminal)+Ghariani (banned from UK), Bashaga was one of the architects of Operation Dawn that invaded Tripoli in '14 following loss of elex by Islamists. For her part, SW packed the LPDF with Islamists to rig the vote. #Libya https://twitter.com/ObservatoryLY/status/1356236239003934722

"It is seen as a naked piece of political concession by Serraj to the city of Misrata and its hard-core elements. Bashagha..was a supporter of the Libya Dawn Tripoli militia coup of 2014 which has led to the current political split of #Libya." https://www.libyaherald.com/2018/10/08/serraj-conducts-controversial-ministerial-reshuffle/
Backed by militia, Bashaga forced his appointment by the toothless and already expired GNA. And when he was suspended last fall following the machine gunning of protesting civilians by militias, that is exactly how he returned to his ill-acquired post. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-libya-security/influential-libyan-interior-minister-suspended-amid-protests-idUKKBN25O309
Bashaga is backed not only by warlords, gangsters and Islamist militias, but also Stephanie Williams, who engineered the wholly illegal "LPDF" scam that no Libyan asked for in order to launder Bashaga+Islamists back into power and place obstacles to free and fair elex in #Libya.
From the outset of this so-called "LPDF", gross corruption scandals broke out as whistleblowers revealed acts of bribery by appointees of Stephanie Williams. An investigation was promised. It never took place. Instead, SW began rushing the "LPDF"-free of any audits or monitoring
I had said from the outset that the Libyan-rejected "LPDF" is a scam to defraud Libyans of self-determination, democracy, legitimate and accountable institutions and keep the proxy Islamist junta intact and embezzling. Yesterday from the horse's mouth: https://twitter.com/ObservatoryLY/status/1356024382854991875
And from the other horse. The "Justice and Construction Party" is the Libyan branch of the Muslim Brotherhood -modeling itself on #Turkey's AKP and serving as the AKP's proxy in #Libya. https://twitter.com/ObservatoryLY/status/1356022619234054145
Of course, this is a "day late and a dollar short" and seen as some members' attempts to distance themselves from the LPDF circus of corruption. Petition is worth reading for newcomers to grasp the depth+breath of the LPDF scam-an outrage to begin with. https://twitter.com/ObservatoryLY/status/1356234814043660291
Yes, neither the members of the LPDF (appointed by foreigners not Libyans) or the candidates, have gone through ANY vetting process. Not even nationality checks, audits, and criminal background checks. This farce is brought to you by the same institution who brought you the GNA.
-let alone measures of meritocracy and legitimacy. Not one single person has a Libyan constituency or represent Libyans. They represent only themselves and those who appointed them.
