It has taken longer than the few weeks so confidently predicted when Nato bombing began in March, but it looks as though the campaign to topple Colonel Gaddafi is entering its final phase. The rebels have cut off Tripoli, his last stronghold, from its oilfields, and from the supplies that came across the Tunisian border. There now seems to be every chance that the regime will collapse soon – a result that would confound those who have insisted that the conflict had reached stalemate, and that Nato’s intervention had failed to tip the scales.
The great unknown, however, is what happens to Libya after Gaddafi falls. The Nato mission – under a UN mandate – was prompted by the need to prevent Gaddafi from destroying Benghazi, where resistance to his rule was centred, and massacring its inhabitants. Nato succeeded in achieving that goal. But compared to the task of creating a stable democracy out of the wreckage of Gaddafi’s tyranny, preventing such an atrocity – and even the subsequent campaign to topple the dictator – were relatively straightforward tasks. In particular, the ad hoc nature of the rebel coalition means that it is impossible to tell whether it will usher in representative government, fall apart into warring splinter groups, or engage in violent reprisals of its own against those loyal to the regime.
To date, there has been no clear articulation from Nato – at least in public – of any plan to reconstruct the country. It is inconceivable that nothing has been learnt from the disasters caused by the lack of post-invasion planning in Iraq, so we can only accept the assurances that there is intensive work under way in private. Nato must not let Libya disintegrate; yet its refusal to put boots on the ground during the military campaign might well be matched by a reluctance to commit peacekeepers in the aftermath. The time is approaching, therefore, for Britain and its allies to set out a convincing vision of Libya’s future. (Guardian)
