قتل ما لا يقل عن 19 شخصا واصيب 20 آخرون بجروح في مواجهات بين قبيلتين في سبها في جنوب ليبيا.

وقال ايوب الرزوق رئيس المجلس المحلي في سبها، ان "مواجهات عنيفة نشبت هذا الصباح (السبت) بين قبيلة التبو وقبيلة اولاد سليمان وسجل حتى الان سقوط 19 قتيلا و20 جريحا".

وافادت مصادر محلية ان المواجهات اندلعت اثر مقتل زعيم ميليشيا تابعة لقبيلة اولاد سليمان العربية الخميس، واتهمت هذه القبيلة افرادا من قبيلة التبو بقتله.

وافاد شهود ان المعارك العنيفة كانت لا تزال مندلعة عصر السبت وشوهدت السنة الدخان تتصاعد من مناطق عدة في مدينة سبها.

واغلق السبت مطار سبها وعلقت الحركة الجوية فيه حسب ما افاد مصدر ملاحي.

واعتبرت هذه المعارك الاعنف بين القبيليتين منذ وقف اطلاق النار بينهما في اذار 2012 الذي وضع حدا لمعارك اوقعت نحو 150 قتيلا و400 جريح.

وتقع مناطق انتشار التبو على الحدود بين ليبيا وتشاد والنيجر وغالبا ما يتهمون من بقية القبائل بتجنيد مقاتلين اجانب معهم خصوصا من تشاد المجاورة.

وتتهم قبيلة التبو السلطات الليبية بتهميشها ومحاباة القبائل العربية على حسابها، في حين ان القبائل العربية تتهم السلطات الليبية بعدم الوقوف الى جانبها بمواجهة "الاحتلال الاجنبي".

ويمكن ان تهدد المعارك في سبها الانتاج النفطي في هذه المنطقة الصحراوية، في الوقت الذي تعاني فيه البلاد من ازمة نفطية بسبب توقف العمل في الكثير من الابار النفطية شرق البلاد منذ تموز الماضي.

Maybe killing Qaddafi was a bad idea after all. Maybe all of us (me included) who wished for his downfall were wrong after all. maybe it would have been a lot better, well for the people of Libya after all that Qaddafi stayed in power. Qaddafi was no friend of mine, far from that, but in light of what is now been happening in Libya, what was believed to be the Arab Spring has proven that it worked against the interests of the people. Maybe for Arabs, it is still better to be ruled by monarchs and dictators, well so far that is.

2) Personally, I believe that the Arab Spring should embrace the entirety of MENA, but in light of its failure and manipulation by the power-that-be both for their and their covert counter-revolutionary ME clients' interests, I tend to avoid speaking it. In effect, we won't see any blossoming where it is most urgently needed, and this thought is reinforced by the MSM failing to cover the uprising in Bahrain or the one in the KSA, the latter of which has about 30,000 political prisoners and has also sent about a thousand reinforced army personnel to try and quell the rebellion in the former. However, I do remain optimistic that the US policy of opting for stability rather than democracy is changing for the greater good in the long run.

-phoenix1 ... If Qaddafi hangued on to power, you would have situation that is similar to that of Syria - which I trust you agree would be much worse. Currently, Libya has much better prospects than Syria.

1) -phoenix1, many are quite loquacious regarding the so-called Arab Spring, where about half of those I've had the opportunity of participating in pertinent discussions with defend its roots and goals as vociferously as they can, while the other half disagrees quite strongly, naturally.

What's interesting of their opinions is that some of those who hold the Arab Spring in a negative light say it has been heavily influenced by key Monarchs across from Northern Africa in order to subjugate their peoples to fear of what society would become if they ever revolted, namely, the spread of chaos, death, lack of freedoms, and even more brutal oppression. However, and do I tend to agree, others say that this negative perception of the Arab Spring is due to an unbalanced focus of the media on violence rather than the good developments that have been achieved, because,as it is said,media thrives on negative sensationalism and is at the core of the perpetual influence of the mainstream media.
