Rebel Rupture
Can Libya‘s fledgling government get along, or will internal rivalries and tensions tear it apart?
BY SARAH A. TOPOL | SEPTEMBER 14, 2011
TRIPOLI, Libya — When the head of Libya’s transitional government, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, took the stage on the night of Monday, Sept. 12, for the first time since Tripoli fell to rebel forces, the crowd in the capital’s central square went nuts. Women and young girls screamed his name. Clutching the podium, Jalil, the justice minister under Muammar al-Qaddafi‘s regime, urged the Libyan people to have faith in their new leadership. At times, he had to pause because the rapturous chanting became too intense. Fireworks boomed every five minutes, and armed rebels from the Tripoli brigades guarded the podium from the pressing crowds.
Know Your Enemy
Know Your Enemy
“If you know yourself but do not know your enemy,
you will sometimes meet with victory, sometimes with defeat.
If you know your enemy but do not know yourself,
you will sometimes meet with victory, sometimes with defeat.
But if you know yourself and you know your enemy,
you will be victorious on a hundred occasions.”
