[Our first Interview is conducted by Jadaliyya Co-Editor, Noura Erakat]
In this interview, Ali Ahmida (bio here) discusses how the recent civilian revolt began as a reformist movement and quickly transformed into a revolutionary one demanding regime change. Ahmida also places the opposition forces in their geo-political context in light of Libya`s legacy of post-colonial state building. Ahmida concludes by exploring the three possible scenarios in the next phase of Libya`s revolt. Please excuse the low quality audio at the outset of Ali Ahmida`s comments.
