Tarhouni was on the forefront of the NTC during the eight-month long conflict before the new appointments. Now he is the first person from the NTC to openly question the new cabinet's legitimacy and in an apparent reference to Qatar, further suggested in a press conference late Thursday, that at least one of foreign powers is trying to meddle excessively in Libya's internal affairs..
He explained his refusal to join the Cabinet that was named last Tuesday, by saying he believed that those now in power are not representative. He accused them of being "supported from the outside by money, arms and PR."...
There is probably a far amount of brevity to Ali Tarhouni's claims. An Oil Minister would know these things.
We are witnessing a continued complaint by the people of Egypt. They believe they were not oriented well to the elections, the candidates or the selection process for these candidates. Confusion only adds to the chance this will never be settled and power to change their circumstances will remain outside their rhelm of control. I am confident there is an answer.
In a region of the world, where enormous numbers of people come for pilgramages there is always a way to organize them to carry out elections. I have witnessed the vast numbers of Iraqis able to assemble in an understanding of common purpose by their Aytollah. That form of education should be a solice to the people and a place where coming to terms with their responsibilities within their country to form a functioning and benevolent government without corruption is an everyday occurrence and not a traumatic upheaval to their daily lives.
