New Alignments between Zintan, GNC, Islamists and the Population

Voting has just ended in Libya on Feb 20 and the good news is that the elections actually happened.  The bad news is that formal institutions are being entirely sidelined by informal politics, ultimatums, conspiracies, and popular upheavals. Things are rapidly shifting in Libya and not being on the ground it is very difficult to keep up with all that is going on.  Rather than trying to analyze what I do not yet have a grasp on, I will suggest the following articles on the recent events and the Constituent Assembly Elections:  Mansour el-Kikhia in AJE on the new politics about forcing the dissolution of the GNC and Ulf Laessing of Reuters on the events of the constitutional committee elections.
