Analysis: Aldabaiba\u2019s trust deficit \u2013 can the Caretaker PM be believed?
it will be recalled that upon gaining office last March, Caretaker PM Aldabaiba had promised that Libya\u2019s electricity crisis would be over by year end. Later this became by November and then December. The power cuts, while much improved on the Faiez Serraj era, have persisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, the Caretaker PM has a trust deficit with \u2013 to a varying degree \u2013 the Libyan public. It will be recalled that upon standing to be selected through the Geneva Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) he had signed an undertaking not to stand for the 24 December 2021 elections. But Aldabaiba stood for the elections and brushed aside the undertaking not to stand as an ethical and not a legal undertaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This has led many Libyans to take anything Aldabaiba says with a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
