The interior and security minister of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) has said that fighters from elsewhere who helped to liberate the capital should now go home."Starting Saturday there will be a large number of security personnel and policemen who will go back to work," Ahmed Darrad said in Tripoli on Friday.
"Now the revolutionaries of Tripoli are able to protect their own city," Darrad said.
Well, that's optimistic.
Bolstered by promises made at a conference in Paris on Thursday of billions of dollars in cash from unfrozen assets of the Gaddafi regime, the NTC prepared to implement a road map for bringing democracy to Libya.A body tasked with drafting a constitution should be elected within eight months and a government within 20 months, NTC representative in Britain Guma al-Gamaty told the BBC on Friday.
For the first eight months the NTC would lead Libya, during which a council of about 200 people should have been directly elected, Gamaty said, referring to plans drawn up in March and refined last month.
"This council... will take over and oversee the drafting of a democratic constitution, that should be debated and then brought to a referendum," he said.
Within a year of the council being installed, final parliamentary and presidential elections should be held.
Good luck with that. It hasn't worked so well around you.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
