Writer Hiba Belaid Abuzeneina argues that describing the Libyan state as “failed” is inaccurate. Instead, she calls it a state hostile to its own people, citing what she describes as the obstruction of court rulings, the use of laws to restrict freedoms, and a monopoly over the distribution of oil revenues that entrenches dependency and poverty. She says that division and the handover of sovereign portfolios to foreign powers, together with the co-opting or dismantling of unions and the criminalization of strikes, weaken citizens’ ability to organize and hold those in power accountable. She also points to the marginalization of women and young people—even though more than 65% of Libyans are under 30—and to the erosion of national memory and identity. In her view, the solution is not to replace governments while leaving the existing structure intact, but to build a new social contract that guarantees free unions, an independent judiciary, an open economy, and citizens who are sovereign.
