ACCORDING TO MOST NEWS ACCOUNTS THE FORCES OF "THE NEW ORDER" HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF TRIPOLI WHILE THE FATE OF MOAMMAR GADHAFI REMAINS UNKNOWN WITH SOME SOURCES CLAIMING HE HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND OTHER CLAIM HE HAS ESCAPED TO ALGERIA. AT ANY RATE THE GADHAFI REGIME SEEMS TO BE OVER AFTER 40 YEARS IN POWER. THE QUESTION NOW IS WHAT WILL EMERGE FOR THIS "NEW ORDER" THAT HAS APPARENTLY GAINED POWER. IT COULD A VICTORY FOR THE LIBYAN PEOPLE OR THE BIRTH OF ANOTHER DESPOT.
