Battle for Libya: NTC leader calls for unity

Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on Aug 9, 2011

The chairman of Libya's opposition has called for unity among members of the National Transitional Council.
There are fears splits could be emerging following the killing of former rebel commander Abdel Fattah Younes.
The National Transitional Council dissolved its executive committee. But as Tony Birtley explains from Benghazi, there are doubts that even that will be enough.

Note:
 The National Transitional Council (NTC) was established on the 5th of March 2011 in Benghazi. The NTC is a coalition of diverse groups and interests:

* The Libyan League for Human Rights (London)
* The National Front for the Safety of Libya ( Riyadh)
* Senoussi The NTC is a coalition of diverse groups and interests:
* The Monarchists (Riyadh)
* "Liberals", close to Saif al-Islam (including two of his relatives, one close to Human Rights Watch, another AI)
* Personalities from the Gaddafi regime, but opposing his son's succession and wishing to take power,
* Adherents of radical Islam, particularly activists.
These monarchists-fundamentalists are completely opposed to Democracy and remain opposed to any form of modern government, despite their declared intentions. One motivation is their fierce desire for historical revenge, following the coup of 1969, and they have no other purpose than to restore the monarchy and to eliminate Qaddafi.
