Mustafa Abdul Jalil has called for a dialogue to address the
controversy over Libya’s new constitution, commenting on the election of
a committee that will draft a new permanent constitution for the
country, which was hosted in Bayda.
Once head of Libya’s National Transitional Council, Abdul Jalil criticised the disagreements that have take place between members of the General National Congress causing a continuous delay on the new constitution’s draft.
He insisted that Libyans who sacrificed for the revolution with their blood and souls had the hope to establish justice, leaving injustice behind.
Further clouds gathered over the constitution when Toubou, Amazigh and Touareg minorities announced plans to boycott the election of the constitutional commission on Wednesday. They claim it “will be on the basis of the majority and not on the principle of consensus”.
Amazigh representatives believe their language should be integrated into the constitutions. Others disagree, claiming they must respect the democratic voting system, which works like many others – in favour of a majority.
“The writing of the Libyan constitution will be based on the vote of the majority and not on the concept of agreement,” Giuma Kusa, of the national Tibu assembly, said in a statement on behalf of the groups. “There will be no voice for minorities, our representatives would be purely symbolic.”
In a state of urgency, the elected panel need to consider national reconciliation to try and unite the Libyan people rather than separate the differing cultures in the country.
The panel will have 120 days to draft a constitution which will then be put to a referendum.
