After more than 40 years of authoritarian repression and eight
months of armed conflict, fundamental political change has come to
Libya. The killing of Muammar al Qadhafi on October 20 and the
declaration of Libya's liberation by the interim Transitional
National Council on October 23 marked the end of the Libyan
people's armed revolt and the formal beginning of the country's
transition to a new political order. Overcoming the legacy of
Qadhafi's rule and the effects of the recent fighting is now the
principal challenge for the Libyan people, the TNC, and the
international community. The transition period may prove to be as
complex and challenging for Libyans and their international
counterparts as the recent conflict. Immediate tasks include
establishing and maintaining security, preventing criminality and
reprisals, restarting Libya's economy, and taking the first steps
in a planned transition to democratic governance. In the coming
weeks and months, Libyans will face key questions about basic terms
for transitional justice, a new constitutional order, political
participation, and Libyan foreign policy. Security challenges,
significant investment needs, and vigorous political debates are
now emerging.
