| Tuaregs will not be used by Saif Qaddafi as a means to political goals: HoR member Hammah |
| 2018-08-11 |
| [Libya Herald] The Tuareg House of Representatives member Saleh Hammah (Bakada) said that his people will not be used by Siaf al-Islam Qadaffy as a means to political ends. Speaking today exclusively to Libya Herald by phone, Hammah, was responding to an alleged attack on the Tuareg people by Saif Qadaffy in a recording widely circulated on social media. In the audio recording purporting to be of Saif Qadaffy, Saif accused the Tuaregs, according to Hammah, of ’’treason’’ against the Libyan cause and of being in contact with ’’foreign agents’’. Hammah is a leading representative of the Libyan Tuareg ethnic minority, being a member of the House of Representatives (HoR) and of the 2015 Skhirat negotiation committee. He does not deny his former friendship with Saif nor the allegiance of his Tuareg people with the former regime. Indeed, he openly admitted that the Tuareg had initially stood by the former regime in opposition to the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... attack. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... he now believes that there is no way back for the former regime ‐ through the use of force ‐ and sees dialogue and reconciliation as the only viable political tool for Libya’s future. |
