Libyan Rebels

With Gaddafi’s death, Libya’s liberation and NATO pulling out. One question looms its head – what’s going to happen to the Libyan militias. Are they now, seven month later going to put down their arms and lead a civilian life? Some think they undoubtedly will and should celebrate and enjoy their freedom and start building the new Libya, a democratic and peaceful Libya!

However, some paramilitaries say they won’t put down their arms because they don’t trust the NTC and there are those who say they won’t disarm because they don’t feel safe!

So, what’s going to happen? Whose responsibility is it to disarm the rebels/freedom fighters, is it the interim government or those who armed them?
