Tripoli Local Council - Declaration of Establishment

Online, April 20, 2011 (Newswire.com) - In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

THE DECLARATION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE

TRIPOLI LOCAL COUNCIL

TRIPOLI, LIBYA

"But We wished to favor those who were oppressed in the land, to make them leaders, the ones to survive, to establish them in the land, and through them show Pharaoh, Haman, and their armies the very thing they feared." (Holy Qur'an 28:5-6)

Praise is due to God, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of God. We pray for mercy of the fallen martyrs of Tripoli and all who have fallen in our dear homeland.

We want to deliver to our people in Tripoli and its surrounding areas the good news of the establishment of the "Tripoli Local Council," which is made up of a number Tripoli's finest
children: men, women, and youth with various experiences and backgrounds. We feel that this is a very important step in support of the blessed February 17th Revolution, of which the time
for harvesting its fruits is approaching, God willing-"On that day, the believers will rejoice at God's help." (Qur'an 30:4-5).

This Council aims to fill the vacuum at the time when the regime collapses, by offering the necessary services, to assist with the transition, and to preserve the peace and security of
society.

The Tripoli Council urges Tripoli's residents to unite and support their Council, in order to shift their city to the shores of peace and safety and to avoid anarchy and chaos.

We would also like to confirm our support of the country's legitimate leadership, the National Transitional Council, and to confirm our allegiance to the February 17th Youth Movement.

Because of its awareness of the sensitive security circumstances imposed on Tripoli, the Council at this time avoids the announcement of the Council leadership, until the liberation of Tripoli. We however, would like to declare Dr. Mahmoud Tarsin (Phone #: +1(734) 673-2248; Email: [email protected]) as the Council Spokesperson during this stage, and the names of the Executive Committee will be announced in the near future.

And the revolution will continue until victory is achieved, and God gives success.
