Mohamed El-Senussi, the son of the late Crown Prince of Libya, Hasan El-Senussi, commented on the suffering that the family of Libya’s late ruler Muammar Gaddafi is going through.
“The suffering of Colonel Gaddafi’s family and they’re having to use different passports due to the measures taken against them, we have also suffered from for decades,” El-Senussi tweeted on Tuesday.
“We do not accept that any Libyan citizen is deprived of his right to return to his homeland at any time he wants,” the exiled prince affirmed.
Al-Senussi stressed that he “would not accept that any Libyan citizen be subjected to this injustice, even if his royal family was subjected to the same injustice in the past.” He also called for “forgetting the past” to build the new State.
In April, El-Senussi reiterated his call for the return to a constitutional monarchy in Libya. He explained that “decades of totalitarian and dictatorial rule have not led to a stable government in the country.”
“Over a decade has passed, but the Libyans do not see the point of the loose Parliamentary system, which led to the widening of the political conflict,” the ambitious Crown Prince told Maghreb Voices newsite.
He claimed that “the democratic rule of the monarchy was established to protect the country from the brunt of social and tribal conflicts. Holding more elections outside the royal framework will only lead to more conflicts and disputes. The King’s role in Libya is to guarantee the course of the political process, and not to allow divisions between the social and political components in this large and sprawling country.”
The Crown Prince indicated that “there is no opportunity to solve the security problems in Libya, in the absence of an elected authority whose legitimacy is recognized by all parties. Also, without a constitution that defines the laws of the political process, solutions in Libya will not succeed.”
