Libya prepares itself for its first election

Libya's rulers are preparing for the first election since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, but many are concerned with how the poll will take place, and its impact.

Libyan students are being given booklets to explain the election process to them in a basic way. The process is broken down into three stages, and the booklet explains the steps that will be taken in the lead-up to the final government, which will be voted for in 20 months' time.

Many political parties have been taking shape, from liberals to Islamists, who are all vying to get a place in the 200-seat national assembly which will be entrusted with drawing up a constitution.

NATO leaders and UN are war criminals-> they never have warcrimes laid against their own - such as that savage Dick Cheney, and for NATO leaders who not only bombed Libyan civilians, but let the KKK chimps/ savages amongst the Libyan militia rebels continuously get away with torture and murder and ethnic-cleansing throughout the past year.

Hey Al Jazeera

How does it feel that you got suckered with the racist Rebel Militia BS from Day One last year when they were murdering every black person they could get their hands on and telling Al Jazeera they were Gaddafi spies in civilian clothes they had killed?

You did such a great job getting suckered to portray the savage KKK bastards amongst the rebel militias as freedom fighters, you inspired NATO to break its 'protect' ONLY UN mandate into being rebel air support bombing Libyans.

@TAR3K You have to be brain dead...what are you talking about progress in Libya???

You call torture, rape. murder and 8,000 Libyan's arrested progress. Libya split apart and crazy rebels on the streets terrorizing Libyans. The NTC is a disgrace to their country bring on all these terrible atrocities onto the Libyan people. All the west thinks about is contracts to rebuild after they destroyed Libya and take control over the oil. This so called democracy is a farce and so is the NTC, NATO, UN.

I don't vote precisely for the reasons that you stated. If you'd actually read what I'm saying, you'd know that I'm not disagreeing with you. What I'm doing is telling you that it isn't up to us, so you're useless spamming is gonna get you nowhere.
