UN Report Says Libya's Interim PM Was Elected Through Bribes

Abdul Hamid Dbeibah chosen at forum where delegates were reportedly offered up to $500,000 

The legitimacy of Libya’s new interim prime minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, has been thrown into doubt by a UN inquiry finding that he allegedly gained power after his supporters offered bribes as high as $200,000 to attract votes. 

His supporters allegedly offered the money in a hotel in Tunis where a UN-selected 75-strong political dialogue forum met to elect an interim prime minister to lead a new unified executive towards national elections in the country in December. 



WNU Editor: And this is the government that is recognized by the international community as legitimate?!?!?!?

A wonderful gift to the region from the Obama-Biden administration, our European allies, and former Secretary of State Clinton. Destabilizing regime change is sadly bipartisan.
