Sami Zaptia TRIPOLI — Reacting to the spate of bombings in Tripoli, Benghazi and Sirte this week, Prime Minister Ali Zidan at his Wednesday's press conference said that there are some who want Libya to be like Afghanistan, Somalia or Mali. “Everybody knows what the situation in the country is and knows the state we received it in after 42 years (of Gaddafi rule)”. “There are some who want to stop the progress of Libya to a civilian state.” The prime minister attacked the selfish philosophy of some Libyans who put their own narrow interests above those of the country. If every Libyan was going to behave in this manner (going on strike, using force and arms to obtain concessions from the state, blockading airports, ports and oil installations), then we cannot do anything about it, added Zidan. — Libya Herald
