Summary
This chapter presents the ways in which the NTC, through its situation as both an influencer and a body heavily constrained by the legacies of the past and the need to not overstep its authority, created the conditions for the subsequent phase. This phase was delineated by the peaceful transfer of power from the NTC to a successor congress -- which became increasingly beholden to the demands of armed militias thanks in part to the decisions of the NTC – and an attack on the new government’s headquarters by a renegade general, Khalifa Haftar, who had fought on the side of the NTC. With this, the unity that had been superficially sustained under the NTC fully broke down.
