Will come to order. We thank all of those for being here. In todays hearing, well examine the crisis in libya. I would like to thank our witnesses for being on the committee for this important issue. Libya remains on the brink of civil war. Like many of its neighbors, they failed to transition into a table Representative Democracy following arab spring.
