Nuri Busahmein ( Arabic نوري أبو سهمين, DMG Nūrī Abū Sahmain , * in Zuara ) is a Libyan politician of Berber origin. As President of the General National Congress , he was the head of state of Libya until August 4, 2014. Since September 2014 in the course of the civil war in Libya he has been head of state of the unrecognized counter-government in Tripoli, spokesman for the “New National Congress” and acts as a warlord .

The politically independent Nuri Busahmein, who is close to the al-Wafa bloc, was elected president of this current supreme legislative body on Tuesday, June 25, 2013, with 96 out of 184 votes in the National Congress. As the successor to interim head Giuma Attaiga , Busahmein's most important task was to lead the country to new elections, which were the 2014 election to the Constituent Assembly . Busahmein was a member of the Amazighen (Berber) congress for the city of Zuara in the west of the country. In addition, in his election he had the support of the Muslim Brotherhood Party , the Justice and Construction Party .

Revolutionary Libyan operating room

During his time as head of state of Libya, Busahmein founded the "Libyan Revolutionary Operations Room" (LROR) ( Arabic غرفة عمليات ثوار ليبيا) as its own private militia and gave him the task of ensuring the security in Tripoli .

The militia is accused of kidnapping political opponents. She is said to have been responsible for the kidnapping of the then Prime Minister Ali Seidan . Until then, the LROR was entrusted with the security of the capital. After the government was kidnapped, the militia was released from this task by parliament. After the "LROR" conquered Tripoli together with the allied militias of Fajr Libia in September 2014 and drove the government to Tobruk , it was tasked by Busahmein with protecting the capital.
