Frustration threatens to unleash second Libyan revolution

Growing frustration over the slow pace of reforms and a lack of transparency in the new Libyan government could push the war-scarred North African nation toward a second revolution, less than two months since the first.

...

Dittmann suggested that the lack of public commitment by the NTC to the demands of the people to keep members of the old regime out of government could be potentially disastrous.

“This development does not help the peace or stability of Libya,” he said. “If the Libyan revolutionaries get the feeling that the new government is becoming infused with elements of the old regime then a second revolution, as seen in Egypt, is likely.”

Guess there will be no Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Libya.

However, Libyans know what they want, and are not afraid to demand it.
