Hillary Clinton Will Leave State Department if Obama Wins Reelection in 2012 - Mar 16, 2011

Chris Stevens - Special Representative to the National Transitional Council (from March 2011 to November 2011)

National Transitional Council of Libya

The formation of the NTC was announced in the city of Benghazi on 27 February 2011 with the purpose to act as the "political face of the revolution". On 5 March 2011, the council issued a statement in which it declared itself to be the "only legitimate body representing the people of Libya and the Libyan state".[4][5][6] An executive board, chaired by Mahmoud Jibril, was formed by the council on 23 March 2011 after being de facto assembled as an "executive team" since 5 March 2011. The NTC issued a Constitutional Declaration in August 2011 in which it set up a road-map for the transition of the country to a constitutional democracy with an elected government.

The council gained international recognition as the legitimate governing authority in Libya[7] and occupied the country's seat at the United Nations.[8] In referring to the Libyan state, the council used the long-form name Libyan Republic, while the Gaddafi government's name for the Libyan state was the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.

Leaders Of The Libyan Opposition Emerge - March 14 (Monday), 2011

Groups fighting against the regime of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi last month formed an umbrella organization known now as the Interim Transitional National Council. The goal was both to reduce factional differences and to put a spotlight on some recognizable leaders.

"The main aim of the national council is to have a political face ... for the revolution," Abdel-Hafiz Ghoqa, a spokesman for the group, told reporters in announcing its formation.

Even as the rebellion is suffering some military losses, it's enjoying some diplomatic victories. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Thursday that she will meet with members of the council during her upcoming visit to the region.

She said that the State Department has ended its interactions with the Libyan government's embassy in Washington. But the U.S. has not recognized the rebel group as the legitimate government of Libya.
