East Libya Declares Self-Government
Eastern Libya has declared an autonomous regional government with an official ceremony, challenging the country’s weak central government that failed to assume unifying power over rebels and various tribes since the 2011 war toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
Leaders of an autonomy movement met on Sunday in the small town of Ajdabiya to launch the government under the name of Barqa, or Cyrenaica as it is also known, supporters said.
A pro-federalist television station showed more than 20 ministers taking the oath at a podium decorated with a Cyrenaica flag.
They were joined by the tribal leader Ibrahim Jathran, the former head of Libya’s Petroleum Protection Force in charge of guarding oil facilities, who defected in the summer and seized the biggest ports Ras Lanuf and Es-Sider with his troops.
Jathran was standing next to the self-declared Prime Minister Abd-Rabbo al-Barassi, a defected air force commander.

The Arabs are really worrying me. USA has fillu infiltrated them and they are failing to see it. It all started with Sadam, then Gadaffi and now it is Syria. No country has remained stable after overthrowing a sitting government with the help of USA forces. Please brother wake up. You will continue killing your own brothers and sisters. This is all USA wants. They will make sure they weaken you so that you are not able to stand on your own. Be strong like China and Zimbabwe,

Jason brother brother man you are very right.USA has managed to divide, confuse, weaken, manipulate, rearrange and use the Arabs because by nature Arabs like fighting. In most of Arab countries there cannot be democracy. if you give them democracy they will start fighting amongst themselves. If only Arabs could unit,they are able bring USA to it’s knees and America clearly knows that and that’s why America has to keep them busy by fighting amongst them selves.
