Different from egypt. it has few institutions, it has ha huge disparity between the haves and have-nots, because it has wealth, but it s only concentrated in the hands of a few. egypt was able to build on institutions that existed before and perhaps modernize them. libya is clannish. eastern libya was easier to go against gadhafi. it s another tribal entity in that part of the country, so what happens with many households armed while there are fears with violence. the well educated, intelligent libyans from outside coming in and the deeffectors from the government perhaps becoming political figureheads. that s the best-case scenario, but a lot of work ahead. we definitely don t know who, and i wouldn t dare try to predict that.

Tv. heappear on camera, it was audio only. ben, what would that suggest? that perhaps the circle around the leader is getting tighter and tighter? reporter: i don t think there s any question about it. one libyan, who listened to that address by moammar gadhafi said what s clear is that his appearances on television have been so poorly received by libyans and by people worldwide, maybe he was advised by the people around him 1i6r7ly not to show his face on television. it was eve one of these rambling, rather off-balance addresses that he made, and many people thought it was quite amusing that he warned libyans not to drink any nescafe made in the towns that are now under the control of the afternoon-gadhafi forces, because he said it was laced with ha lou hallucinogeni
