To End the Killings in Libya, the Cost Balance Needs to Change

Armed forces allied to internationally recognized government fight with armed group in Tripoli, Libya September 22, 2018.  © 2018 Hani Amara/Reuters On October 20, 2011, a Libyan revolutionary commander from Misrata called me jubilantly to break the news personally that Muammar Gaddafi, Libya’s long-time dictator, had finally been caught by rebel fighters near the coastal city of Sirte, his hometown. With a feeling of trepidation, I recall saying to him, “I hope they don’t kill him.” I believed it was important to see justice done for the crimes Gaddafi had committed. There was silence on the other end. Some hours later, the first footage of Muammar Gaddafi’s lifeless and half-naked corpse appeared on television. He had been brutalized and lynched by a mob. With him, in the makeshift morgue, was the body of his son, al-Mutassim, who had been captured alive and executed that same day in Sirte by a separate armed group.
