The internecine rivalries that began in earnest last November between fighters from Zawiya and Warshefana, and among Tripoli’s various factions, will be difficult to defuse, as the thowar (revolutionaries) have refused repeated calls by the NTC to disarm. Tripoli is in danger of becoming like Baghdad circa 2005, with different groups controlling turf and instituting a clientelist neighborhood political economy.
其次，政治权力目前还掌握在相互竞争的几个军事阵营中。去年11月扎维耶和沃尔舍法纳（Warshefana）爆发的冲突以及的黎波里诸多派系间的倾轧便是内讧的最佳写照，内讧问题很难解决，因为“索瓦”（即革命者）拒绝响应NTC放下武器的主张。的黎波里的危险程度一点都不亚于2005年时的巴格达，不同的阵营各有各的地盘，并发展出了一套侍从主义社区政治经济。
