Libya - civil unrest & now NATO involvement

[elbows]

Yeah, what timing as well, just as nato announce the end and Libya appoint a new PM that is supposed to be more acceptable to more factions than the last one, and is from Tripoli (although I think I saw from his bio that he's another Libyan who spent a long time in the US).

Yeah Abdurraheem el Keib. He has dual American/Libyan citizenship and ties to the petroleum and energy industries. Oh and of course the Libyan people had nothing to do with his election. He was elected by members of the TNC.

Keib attended University of Tripoli in 1973, earned his M.S. at the University of Southern California in 1976, and his Ph.D. at North Carolina State University in 1984. He has taught as a professor for many years at the University of Alabama, the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).​

Most recently, he served as Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department at The Petroleum Institute in UAE before joining Libya’s interim council last spring. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the US Department of Energy (US DoE), Southern Company Services (SC), and Alabama Power Company (APCO).​
