Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
I didn’t even realize Libya had a government.
But I’m glad they do and I’m glad they’re doing the right thing.
The Minister of Interior for the National Unity Government, Imed Trabelsi, has called for the enforcement of the “country’s traditions,” including mandatory hijab wearing.
The controversy continues a week after the announcement. On November 6, Minister of Interior Imed Trabelsi, representing the Tripoli-based authority (west), held a press conference stating that he would now prevent “inappropriate” hairstyles and clothing deemed too loose among the youth.
He also aims to ban gender mixing in public spaces and impose the hijab on women, including girls as young as nine years. “Those who seek individual freedoms should go to Europe,” he said.
I agree with everything here, except for the last part.
Europe has its own sluts, they don’t need Arab ones too.
Concerned, Amnesty International takes this project very seriously. Bassam Al Kantar, who monitors the country, denounces a “dangerous escalation in the already suffocating levels of repression facing those in Libya not adhering to dominant social norms.” The project “also violates Libya’s obligations under international law,” he added.
In the capital, even though wearing the veil is widespread and women’s participation in social life is already severely restricted, it is not uncommon to see women alone and without a hijab in cafés, sometimes returning home around 7 p.m. There are also Muslim religious minorities whose traditions may vary.
Imed Trabelsi’s rhetoric could appeal to the most conservative Libyans, from revolutionary-minded Salafists to Quietists who favor order. However, many of them doubt the credibility of this Minister of Interior, who has been in office since 2022 and was not previously known for his strictness.
Most women appear to be conforming without anyone having to tell them
Before joining the government, Imed Trabelsi led a militia, the General Security Agency, accused of being involved in mistreatment (torture, disappearances) of refugees and migrants. “He is seeking respectability as a minister,” said Jalel Harchaoui, a political analyst affiliated with the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies.

The morality police are supposed to be operational as soon as next month, even though the project, which has not gained the support of Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dbeibah, is not backed by any law or official memorandum, as is sometimes customary in the country. However, Libyans are attached to legal procedures.
“What the minister mentioned about moral decay is an insult to Libyan society, as it is unnecessary to exaggerate the issue and present it as if it were a deep crisis. This is an incitement to sedition and a threat of excessive power use, which requires a legal framework,” said Ahmed Hamza, head of the National Commission for Human Rights.
Experts agree that this police crackdown could be a strategy to extend the government’s authority over the western territory. The country has been mired in significant instability since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, with two rival administrations, one in the east and the other in the west, each having to contend with 140 tribes and clans.
Oh, so it’s a governing strategy to expand a currently limited government.
That’s what I thought, that there were multiple factions.
Well, the one with the least empowered sluts will win, I predict.
