Libya

Gaddafi Killed

Muammar Gaddafi was killed in crossfire between loyalists and National Transitional Council forces.

Now that Muammar Gaddafi has been killed, the ultimate test of the National Transitional Council will come; rebuilding and running a state. The challenges that logically follow are a quandary that any government would encounter but the fact that they were unified and bolstered by a distaste for one individual who is no longer in existence means that the movement has the potential to degenerate into infighting. In addition, if there is not a clear leader soon, the ntc could fail completely through loss of control. This could mean further instability in the region and a bloody fight for leadership of Libya.
