The
new Libyan Prime Minister
has repeatedly announced that his government "will
represent all Libyans
".
Abdel Hamid Dbeibah would have preferred to have more technocrats and more women, but he complied with the logic of regional balance in the allocation of portfolios in order to gain the confidence of Parliament.
27 ministers, 6 ministers of state and two vice-prime ministers.
It is an enlarged cabinet which will be sworn in on Monday March 15 in front of Parliament.
A Parliament which nevertheless demanded a restricted government.
Abdel Hamid Dbeibah defended himself by asserting that his training had given a lot of work and that it was necessary to be inclusive to succeed in functioning.

Ultimately, it is the Prime Minister himself who will assume the function.
Another aspect of this government is the unprecedented presence of women.
For the first time in the political history of Libya, 5 women will occupy ministries including two sovereigns: Foreign Affairs and Justice.
Also note, the comeback of sympathizers of the old regime who even swept the royal Ministry of the Interior.
A ministry which will have to play a role of very great importance in the dissolution of the militias and the departure of foreign mercenaries.
