"新一波的利比亞抗爭發生在班加西"

外界擔憂利比亞可能會分裂成若干小國。

於此起義反對前領導人格達費的利比亞東部城市班加西，再次發生抗議並且逐漸累積不滿。格達費也許已經被殺害，人民可能也免於他所謂的殘暴統治，但是這些發展可能成為該國問題的開端。

示威者現在聚集在班加西，高舉利比亞東部的旗幟，要求地方自治。其他地區也要求自治，但在班加西的情況較為發達，也更令西方列強擔憂。利比亞東部是許多利比亞油田的故鄉，所以極具有政治的重要性。為了突顯這個議題，班加西新抗議運動的領導人之一表示，如果不能滿足他們的要求，他們「可能得被迫停止石油輸送。」

英國埃克塞特大學中東研究教授薩迪奇則批評利比亞的新領導人－全國過渡委員會（NTC）。「NTC尚未取得利比亞的心。它是失序的…外界對這個政府提出各種要求，但是它卻毫無回應。」

(Politics)Benghazi Witnesses a Fresh Wave of Libyan Protests

There are fears that Libya may be broken up into a number of smaller states.

Benghazi, the city in the east of Libya where the uprising against former leader Muammar Gaddafi began, is again witnessing protests and the stirrings of discontent. Gaddafi may have been killed, and the population may be free from his supposedly tyrannical rule, but these developments could just be the start of the countrys problems.

Demonstrators are now gathering in Benghazi holding the flag of eastern Libya and calling for local rule. Other regions are also calling for autonomy, but the situation in Benghazi is more developed, and also more worrying for Western powers. Eastern Libya is home to many of Libyas oil fields, so it is extremely significant politically. To highlight this issue, one of the leaders of Benghazis new protest movement said that if their demands are not met, they may be forced to stop oil flow.

Larbi Sadiki, a professor of Middle East Studies at Britains Exeter University, has criticized Libyas new leaders, the National Transitional Council (NTC). The NTC has not been reaching out to the Libyan heart. It is disorderlyK All kinds of demands are being made on this government and it is not being responsive to it.
