After the death of Muammar Gaddafi, Libyan forces finished fighting in Sirte and then consolidated power in Tripoli. On October 23, the National Transitional Council declared that Libya was officially liberated. UN and NATO actions ended on October 30th, much to the dismay of the NTC.
On November 22nd, the NTC named its interim government. Osama Al-Juwali was named the Defense Minister, Fawzi Abdelali the Interior Minister, Ashour Bin Hayal the Foreign Minister, Hassan Ziglam the Finance Minister, Ali Hameda Ashour the Justice Minister and Abdulrahman Ben Yezza the Oil Minister.
The current Libyan government is attempting to deal with factional disputes between the various groups that comprised the NTC. There will be difficulties in maintaining popular support for the government unless changes are made to include people from the various parties.
