Libya's Liberation and the aftermath of rebellion
The Arab spring that has blossomed throughout the Libyan state has brought with it a renewed sense of hope for the future of a country whose past is embroiled with suffocating dictatorship. Indeed, the advance of the rebels into the Capitol Tripoli represents the people's open acceptance of a new Libya, one with democracy at its heart.
However, the ousting of Gaddafi and his regime is perhaps overshadowed by what could potentially be the Arab world’s latest humanitarian crisis. Medical supplies and personnel are in dire shortage and the west must be prepared to shoulder some of the burden to support the liberation of the new Libya.
The doctors that have remained in hospitals amid fears of further violence have been overwhelmed by the influx of casualties as rebels make a final attempt to quash what remains of an embattled Gaddafi regime. Amidst the violence of the riots and an already fragile infrastructure, the task of providing suitable care to the sick and injured is a near impossible one, and the outcries from medics throughout the country must be answered if any hope of a true victory is to be achieved.
The response to the violence in Libya thus far has been focused on condemnation towards Gaddafi coupled with an open acceptance of the transition rebel council as the legitimate representatives of the Libyan people. It has only been the American administrations comments urging caution against pre-emptive celebrations that have added a sense of realism to the huge task facing the new leaders of the country.
These cautions are of huge importance as the rest of the world can only wait with bated breath as our attention is fixed on what will unfold over the next few days and weeks.
