The Libyan Transitional National Council

    The Libyan Transitional National Council is the current representative government of Libya which was announced in Benghazi on February 27^th, 2011. It has been officially recognized by France, Qatar, Maldives, and Italy.

     The council derives its legitimacy from the decisions of local councils set up by the revolutionary people of Libya on the 17th of February. These local councils facilitated a mechanism to manage daily life in the liberated cities and villages. The council consists of thirty one members representing the various cities of Libya from the east to the west and from the north to the south. The aim of the Transitional National Council is to steer Libya during the interim period that will come after its complete liberation and the destruction of Gaddafi’s oppressive regime. It will guide the country to free elections and the establishment of a constitution for Libya. (Source: The Interim Transitional National Council website)
