Saif al Islam Gaddafi is trying to leverage foreign countries, diplomats and media in a bid to enter Libyan politics, but it might be a fool’s errand
about Saif al Islam’s return to Libyan political theatre is once again making the rounds but experts say there are still major hurdles that will most likely block his ambitions to run for president of Libya in December - or even in the years to come.
On the other hand, Associate Professor of political sciences at Istanbul Medeniyet University, Veysel Kurt tells TRT World that Saif Gaddafi has no place in the future of Libyan politics but is trying to take advantage of the existing chaos in the country. Since his disappearance from public life in 2011 when he was captured by rebels in the Libyan desert following the killing of his father, Saif al Islam was sentenced to death in 2015 and was freed in 2017. As per theSaif al Islam’s aides argues that he was planning to run for elections scheduled for December 24 following the UN-brokered process this year.
His aides also stated that he had been in touch with foreign diplomats to curry favour for his return to politics. That the UN previously allowed Haftar’s ally, Aguila Saleh, to compete for the country’s transitional presidency, Assad believes those kinds of decisions have encouraged Saif al Islam as well.
