Libye : à Zintan, que reste-t-il de la révolution ?

Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://f24.my/youtube LIVE - Follow FRANCE 24 here: http://f24.my/YTliveFR Six years after the outbreak of the revolution, which led to the fall and subsequent death of Muammar Gaddafi, where does Libya stand? As the country fractures between rival clans, some are beginning to miss the former regime, despite its long-despised character. Our reporter Charles Emptaz traveled to Zintan, southwest of Tripoli, which was the scene of major fighting between revolutionaries and pro-Gaddafi supporters. It's a city like no other. Perched high in the Jebel Nafusa mountains, Zintan was the spearhead of the 2011 revolution in Libya. It was here that Gaddafi's first missiles fell on the West. It was also in Zintan that Seif al-Islam, the son and heir of the deposed leader, was detained. It was finally in Zintan that the war, which pitted the nationalists against the Islamist brigades in 2014 and 2015, ended. What remains of all these battles, these victories, and these defeats? What remains of the ideals of the Libyan revolution? To tell the unique story of this city, our reporter met its warlords and its inhabitants, sketching the face of a post-revolutionary Libya, torn between its aspiration for liberation and the peril of disintegration. Zintan is torn between its thousand losses and the pride of having contributed to Libya's destiny. Like other cities our reporter passed through on his journey, Zintan is torn between the past, where some even envision a return of Gaddafi rule, and the desire to unite their country once again to end the reign of the militias. ►► Read: "Khalifa Haftar, Putschist or Hero of Anti-Terrorism in Libya?" Today, the warlords have rallied behind Field Marshal Haftar within the Libyan National Army. This rallying opens the way for the strongman of the East to a possible conquest of the West and the capital, Tripoli. Who are these career soldiers and revolutionaries gathered in the same army? How do some from the old regime manage to coexist with their former enemies, the revolutionaries? Can these men gain the upper hand in a country ravaged by fratricidal wars and a spiral of anarchy? The soldiers of the Libyan National Army revealed their positions and the road they hold to the gates of Tripoli. A road they have wrested from the Islamist brigades and which holds many surprises. http://www.france24.com/fr/reporters Our website: http://www.france24.com/fr/ Join us on Facebook:   / france24.videos   Follow us on Twitter:   / f24videos
