As a resident of Buslim, I can confirm that your statement is accurate. I’d also like to add that, along with the reforms that took place in Buslim, it was considered one of the safest areas in the capital. It was known for its almost uninterrupted electricity supply—something rare in other neighborhoods.
As for Gheniwa’s killing, it happened because he refused to surrender to another militia that wanted to take control of the area. Naturally, the people of Buslim completely rejected this attempt. In Libya, people tend to side with those from their own native regions, so having a group from another city take control of their area was seen as humiliating—especially after they openly threatened to humiliate the locals following Gheniwa’s assassination.
What followed were thefts across the neighborhood and houses being burned down simply because they belonged to Gheniwa’s relatives. In Buslim, we all agreed on one thing—whether you liked Gheniwa or not: he was the best person for the area because he was one of us, a longtime resident who genuinely loved the neighborhood and contributed to its development and safety. No one else could’ve done that.
So, when he was killed, it marked the loss of both security and progress for the people of Buslim. And we know very well that whoever comes next will only be a worse militia, regardless of the fancy titles the government tries to give them. Just a few years ago, this same government described Gheniwa as the face of security in the capital. I believe that fact alone supports the position of the people of Buslim.
