There's statements from the EU,UN, and Human Rights Watch condemning the actions. I'm not an expert, but dismantling the justice system utterly (especially when it is critical to the government) isn't something to be taken lightly in any democracy.



I will admit that I don't know the reality on the ground as an outsider. However, it seems to me just as likely that this is a political struggle between the new government and their opponents.

As for the EU and the UN, these are the same orgs that supported the US/Canada/French/German/Italian 2011 War of aggression against the Libyan government, with the backing and support of the UN. Ostensibly it was in the name of taking down a dictator, but we now know it was for his crime of daring to try to build a pan-African currency (the gold-backed Dinar) that was not subject to the central banks.

I hear you claim that credible first world organizations (the United Nations!) condemned the action. (Please share those articles so I can review sources). However, given the track record of western colonial powers oppressing smaller and weaker governments, or invading them based on false pretexts, I find your unsourced claims to be dubious at best (Where are those WMDs in Iraq that the US and the EU claimed existed?)
