"What Will Free Libya Look Like?"
Shashank Joshi, Royal United Services Institute | August 22, 2011
The conflict in Libya has reached “zero hour”. ++ As rebels infiltrate Tripoli and celebrate Gaddafi's imminent surrender, the “forward-thinking” Transitional National Council makes plans for post-conflict stabilization. ++ The most important task for the TNC is to ensure that all regions of Libya are adequately represented in the new government, whose seat could be moved to Misurata, in the west. ++ Rather than establishing an “ill-advised” ground force, British policy should focus on maintaining the cohesiveness of this opposition movement.
