Libyan Candidate Criticises US Involvement in Libya

Libyan Candidate Criticises US Involvement in Libya
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Libyan presidential candidate Suleiman Al-Bayoudi has accused the United States of playing a “negative” role in Libya by backing militias and reinforcing the dominance of powerful families, rather than supporting democratic reforms.

Speaking to Erem News, Al-Bayoudi said that Libya holds significant geostrategic value for Washington and its allies, making it difficult for the US to withdraw or reduce its involvement in the country. “Ending intervention in Libya is not a straightforward decision,” he stated, highlighting ongoing geopolitical interests that complicate the issue.

Al-Bayoudi also referred to a recent joint statement by Republican military committee chairmen in the US Congress. The statement expressed opposition to any rushed reform proposals, a stance that Al-Bayoudi interprets as a reflection of deep divisions between Congress and the executive branch.

“The statement clearly shows Congress’s concerns about Trump’s proposed actions,” he said. “There is fear these steps could weaken America’s global deterrence and diminish its negotiating power with rivals.”

He stressed that the US had an opportunity to demonstrate goodwill by constructively engaging with Libya. According to Al-Bayoudi, Washington should have used its influence to support public freedoms, human rights, democratic development, and the push for national elections.

Al-Bayoudi’s remarks come amid broader frustrations in Libya over international involvement, particularly from Western powers. Many Libyans remain sceptical of foreign agendas, fearing they prioritise stability for external interests over real democratic progress.
