What In the World—R & R in Libya. Revenge & Reconciliation

Description

Gaddafi's demise did not result in the hoped-for democratic revolution. Four years on, instead of forming a democratic and functioning state, the revolutionaries are fighting each other. Libya’s recently elected House of Representatives has fled to the eastern city of Tobruk as an alternative government has established itself in Tripoli. Thousands of people detained in 2011 are still in prison and without a fully functioning justice system look likely to remain there for some time. Widespread availability of guns feeds the instability. The challenge of reconciliation remains. Meanwhile there is ISIS to consider.
