Preparing for after Gaddafi: Benghazi rebels organise transition council (click title to entry for video - thank you)
In Benghazi, Libya's second-largest city and one of the first to fall under rebel control, dissidents are scrambling to get organised. After Gaddafi's former Justice Minister announced the creation of a national transition council based in Benghazi, our reporters wanted to find out what that council is doing. They take us inside dissident headquarters in the city.
I am assuming every government on Earth knows they have to cancel all arms sales to Gadhafi. Right? Potentiallly aiding the gennocide of the Libyan people. Got that?
All contracts to Libya's military are cancelled. I suppose it would be best if the UN Security Council wrote a resolution to that effect. End the killing. Tough to do with protest signs.
Within the Transitional Council there can be 'advisors' from friendly nations. The advisors can be Ambassadors 'in waiting' to return to the country. The people may be unprepared to understand how to govern, but, they are completely campable of knowing they want a just and peaceful government that provides opportunity to them. There should be such understandings in the UN Resolution as well. Supportive allies to help with government transition, training and education.
The petroleum industries should not be anywhere near these people. The oil fields belong to the people and it is the Libyan people that need to run their own oil infrastructure. The petroleum industry has proven itself 'toxic' to any populous in any country.
