Libya After The Fall Of Gaddafi.
To start the Libyan regime is on the verge of collapse and it has reached the point of no return. With the opposition gaining control of the situation, there are more prospects and priorities to usher in the new era of stability and to start the rebuilding process both economically and politically, especially since the National Transitional Council (NTC) hasobtained support from many countries around the world.
In this moment the current situation in Libya is similar to that of Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussain. Those loyal to Gaddafi might not give up easily and form new militias. The rehabilitation process and overcoming tribal conflicts are definitely the biggest challenges the Libyans have to face after the fall of Gaddafi.
Moreover, democracyis the best solution after the country suffered under dictatorship. The next vital step is the stable transition to a new system, which is close to a federal parliament, to widen the range of the people’s representation after the legislative election and to defuse post-Gaddafi tension. Political stability is required to ensure a better and faster rebuilding process in the country.
Libya'sNational Transitional Council (NTC) has the urgent task of organising the country's first free election for more than four decades, and of reconciling the competing and potentially explosive interests of tribal, regional and Islamist groups.
The country's supposed transition to democracy will take place in several stages. The fall of Sirte and the end of fighting means the NTC can form an interimcabinet. Its main task will be to hold elections next summer for a national assembly.
The assembly will draft a constitution, which Libyans will be asked to approve in a referendum. If it is approved, parliamentary and presidential elections will take place in summer 2013. The model is similar to that of neighbouring Tunisia, which is holding its first post-revolution election.
After 42 years ofdictatorship most Libyans have never voted. Libyans now in their 60s have distant memories of elections under King Idris – the monarch whom Gaddafi removed from power in 1969 in a bloodless military coup. Gaddafi formally banned political parties in 1972 and his infamous Green Book was an anti-parliamentary rant.
There seems little prospect that loyalist sympathisers in Libya will be able, orwilling, to mount any effective large-scale resistance to the new government. Gaddafi's death and that of his son Mutassim – killed in murky circumstances on Thursday – rob any potential resurgency of credible leadership.
Gaddafi's son and one-time heir apparent, Saif, is either out of the country or dead, according to various accounts. The capture of Sirte means that the opposition controls all ofLibya's main population centres, with Sirte the last link in a chain of towns along Libya's boundless Mediterranean coast.
Nonetheless it would be foolish to rule out the possibility of a low-level insurgency by pro-Gaddafi forces at some point. Far more likely and more destabilising are potential conflicts between rival militias and regional elites as the struggle for power in the new Libyaintensifies.







Libia tras la caída de Gaddafi.

Para empezar el régimen libio está al borde del colapso y que ha llegado al punto de no retorno. Con el control de la oposición ganando de la situación, hay más perspectivas y prioridades para dar paso a la nueva era de estabilidad y para iniciar el proceso de reconstrucción económica y políticamente, sobre todo desde que el Consejo Nacionalde Transición (CNT) ha obtenido el apoyo de muchos países de todo el mundo.

En este momento la situación actual en Libia es similar a la de Irak tras la caída de Sadam Husein. Los leales a Gaddafi no puede dar por vencido fácilmente y formar nuevas milicias. El proceso de rehabilitación y la superación de los conflictos tribales son sin duda los mayores retos a los libios tienen que hacer...
