Al-Ahram interviews Mahmoud Jibril, Libyan rebel leader – Region – World – Ahram Online
Moving from security concerns to economic ones, Jibril expressed extreme unease about the shortage of funds available to the TNC, describing the effectiveness of a newly formed government without money as a “car without petrol.”
When asked about the promise of governments to unfreeze Libyan assets and loans offered by Turkey and the US, Jibril said that “talk is one thing and implementation another.” The consequences of any delay in access to those assets, he warned, could lead to the TNC losing their legitimacy since it would not be able to provide services to people, including payments to rebel fighters, some of whom have not been paid for six months.
