Libya

Qatar was the first Arab nation to support the NATO operation in Libya by sending its jets and was praised by NTC leaders soon after the 'liberation', however, recent revelations raise questions regarding the country's ambivalent stance on Libya.

In the aftermath of the Libyan conflict, weapons hidden by Gaddafi are being discovered across the country, but despite the NTC's assurance the armaments found are being taken to secure places, reports that sites are being looted keep on emerging.

More atrocities conducted during the Libyan conflict have emerged as the bodies of 267 people, thought to have been executed, have been discovered in Sirte, a local Libyan newspaper reported.

The four-decade rule of Libyan autocrat, Col. Moammar Gadhafi finally came to an end on Thursday, after he was dragged from his hiding place - a drainpipe - in the town of Sirte and killed. However, there is growing international unease about increasingly graphic and disturbing images of the abuse of a body that appears to be Gadhafi's, following his capture and the fall of his hometown of Sirte on Thursday.

While evidence of illegal killings and violations of human rights committed by both sides are slowly emerging, the absence of official and updated death toll figures show many secrets are still to be unlocked before the carnage wrought by nine months long civil war is known.

Muammar Gaddafi's autopsy confirmed the former Libyan leader died from a gunshot to the head, the country's chief pathologist said, a move which is set to amplify allegations the deposed head of state has been executed by one of his captors.

Muammar Gaddafi, his son Muatassim and a top aide have been buried at a secret desert location after Muslim rites with a few relatives and officials in attendance, but the burrials are unlikely to calm down the controversy surrounding Libya's former "brother leader."

Libya might have now been 'liberated' but the consequences of nine months of conflict between the anti and pro Gaddafi forces might take much longer to heal as the 53 bodies of apparent Gaddafi loyalists who appeared to have been executed were found by Human Rights Watch (HRW).

Contraticting official claims, a group of Libyan rebels claim to know the man who shot Col Muammar Gaddafi.

With the popularity of Islamic-based political parties in Tunisia and Egypt, and the announce of the continuation of a sharia law-based Libya, political Islam in some of the Arab Spring countries is it seems regaining momentum, re-launching the debate between democracy and Islam.

Gaddafi's death symbolises the beginning of a new Libya, its leaders have said, announcing the liberation of the country, but with the circumstances in which the former leader died still unclear and accusations of violations of human rights throughout the conflict, Libya it seems is still a long way from democracy.
