 In January 1964, many young people in Benghazi made a demonstration because of the King's absence in an Arab summit in Cairo, Egypt (although Fikini himself was there), and some police officers behaved hard and shot some demonstrators, some of them were killed.After his return, Fikini promised to punish any one involved in this case.This led to a disagreement with the commander of the security force Mahmud Buguaitin who defended his officers (though he had not ordered them to shoot the demonstrators).
