The inability of the authorities to make any arrests or bring the killers to justice has severely damaged its public credibility. This has led some power-hungry groups in post-revolutionary Libya, such as the Islamists and federalists, to exploit the situation to their advantage by seeking to offer themselves as an alternative to the incapable central government. In post-revolutionary Libya, there are many peripheral forces that have the power and ability to hold the central government ransom until their demands are met. But because each region has different needs, its impossible for the central government to respond to all of their demands. Its time to create a security framework that incorporates and governs these myriad forces instead of embarking on a losing battle with them. If Libyas government intends to make any real progress on the security front, it has to acknowledge this reality. transitions.foreignpolicy/posts/2013/10/30/benghazi_s_epidemic_of_assassinations
