Building Libya's Future

The Libyan people have ended the decades long rule of Colonel Muammar al-Qaddafi.  The situation, however, remains tenuous and the new government must work to rebuild Libyan society and institutions to provide a better future.  The Minister of Infrastructure and Reconstruction, Dr. Ahmed Jehani, discussed his thoughts on the situation in Libya, how best to proceed with reconstruction of the country, and challenges and opportunities for the future.

Video footage of the event is forthcoming. Notes on the event are posted on POMED and a transcript of the Minister's introductory speech is available here.
