. Leaks circulating within the political and security circles revealed a trend within the so-called Rapid Support Government towards the appointment of Adel Dagalo as director of the Public Security Service, in a move that sparked a wide wave of controversy and questions about the nature of the structure in which power is managed within the political and military project linked to the Dagalo family.
According to informed sources, the move comes as part of internal arrangements to restructure the security services of the militia, amid increasing indications of the concentration of political, military and security influence within the narrow family circle, reflecting the absence of independent institutions and appointment mechanisms based on competence or known professional standards within the traditional state organs.
Observers believe that any appointments at this level within the political and military entity for rapid support reinforce concerns about the transformation of the security services into tools of family and personal loyalty, rather than building them as national institutions subject to law, control and accountability.
According to observers, the continued focus of the security and political decision within a limited family reflects the nature of the project based on personal influence and family ties, not on the concept of the modern state, which is based on the separation of institutions and the balance of powers and security professionalism.
At the time of writing, there was no official comment confirming or denying the validity of the leaks circulating about the appointment of Adel Dagalo at the head of the General Security Service.
