Libya: ‘Occupation does not breed democracy’

RT: Libya's interim rulers have proclaimed the country's liberation on Sunday. But the path to democracy still has numerous obstacles. Professor Hisham Ghassib says the main issue is that Libya is occupied.

He claims that the conflict in Libya cannot be described as a real revolution.

"Historically speaking, this cannot be described as a revolution. It was some sort of coup d'état, where you had a military coup d'état backed by NATO," the professor from Princess Sumaya University in Jordan told RT. "It is an occupation and a very brutal occupation."

And unlike a real revolution "occupation does not breed democracy," he stressed. "So I doubt very much that there will be real, genuine, democracy in Libya from now on."
