Due to various post war limitations on who could hold office (barring Gaddafi Era officals to an almost nutty degree), the GNC has gotten more and more... lunk-headed over the past few months, sometimes becoming more islamist than originally constructed when the runner up in an election was the replacement for a departing or dead member.

This particular announcement seems to be a way for that part of GNC to shore up their powerbase now that the Cyrenicans are bootign islamists out of the big cities in the East.

Another military intervention gone horribly wrong. Crowman1979 Dec 2013 #1
