Past Days' Vision  

Previously, under his father's rule, al-Saadi had a big vision for Libya, whereby political power be handed over to his brother Saif al-Islam, while he would assume authority of the military, and oversee the process of modernizing the country's infrastructure and placing new economic and investment policies to open up to the West and adopt an up-to-date capitalist approach. He was in favor of enacting serious political reforms to allow holding polls to elect representatives of the nation's people and its diversified components. He also proposed establishing a group of companies and corporations to handle the various sectors of the Libyan economy, such as a company for foreign investments and another for oil investments, and so on, and aspired for founding a sovereign Libyan fund of a trillion dollars in assets.   

Today's Vision  

First: national reconciliation  

Al-Saadi believes that a comprehensive national reconciliation is needed in Libya; one that must include all the active forces inside the country, as no group alone would be able to rebuild Libya without the other groups' assistance and participation, whether be it the February group, the family of Muammar Gaddafi, or Khalifa Haftar and the Karama group. To achieve this goal, all groups must work together to reach a consensual perspective that transcends the existing differences in order to draw up a political road map, with all concessions and guarantees, that takes the form of a national document, to eventually come up with a constitution that outlines the country’s political and economic direction .  

 

Second: Things that should be taken for granted:   

1. There is opposition in the country.  

2. Problems must be solved without violence or seeking outside help.  

This shall be realized by having a constitution with a detailed set of laws and principles that act as the reference for everyone .  

Third: internal reforms  

Al-Saadi upholds the idea of abolishing the Libyan army for 20 years, like the Japan case after World War II, for giving the chance to overcome the consequences of the war and violent activities that have exhausted the country. This is in parallel to supporting the police force and granting it enough power to preserve the state of security in the country and keep the situation under control, while giving special importance to the judicial system, including empowering the judges and increasing their pay.    

It is also necessary to support the freedom of the media and press, yet in the framework of a law that preserves the prestige of the state and the rights of people, on top being the head of state, who works to maintain the state's pace internally and ensure that policies are implemented correctly in accordance with the enacted laws and constitution. Work should follow an institutional approach so that powers are granted to and practiced by institutions and not individuals, and this applies to all levels, up from the head of the state and down to all positions of responsibility in it.  

Border guards should be given a special attention in order to keep the security situation under control in the face of any attempts at tampering with it by outside intruders. This is in addition to regulating labor laws, particularly those related to foreign laborers from overseas.   

Al-Saadi is also interested in establishing new cities inside Libya, based on original factors prompted by market conditions and the country’s real needs, so that they enjoy demographic and tourist components and are organized according to specific laws to ensure the prospect of their development and continuity.
