but the siege is too strong a response exposing the government's weakness this according to john list james corbett. it just goes to show that deeply divided lines in the country right now tribally ethnically in terms of geography it's a deeply divided country and there are a number of different problems that are playing itself out politically in libya right now and this just goes to show once again that that not only is libya ungoverned to a large extent at the moment but it is perhaps given its current political state ungovernable in this particular instance we have the prime minister being voted out in a vote of no confidence because he was unable to form a cabinet and basically this is due to both the pressures from the people themselves there was a popular protest movement basically saying that each individual city was complaining they were under represented in this proposed cabinet and you have the political dealings with the major parties behind the scenes including an offshoot of the muslim brotherhood which is trying to get into a greater position of power in the country so there's a lot o
