Reply #10: Qaddafi biggest is concern is how the Tribes in Libya act, one tribe has backed the movement

[happyslug]

Now 15 % of Libyans are NOT attached to any tribe, but the real concern is the other 85% who are members of a tribe AND how strong such people view their Tribe.

Basically, they are about 150 different tribes, but Gaddafi's Gaddafa's tribe controls the Air Force. The Magariha and the Warfalla are also two important tribes in Libya, the Magariha was represented by Qaddafi's Prime Minister till Gaddafi decided to resolve the Lockabie dispute by turning over two Magariha tribal members to the British. For this the Magariha joined with the Warfalla an attempted a coup in 1993 against Qaddafi. The coup failed and Qaddafi proceeded to remove the leader of the Magariha tribe from his Government.
