The wartime leader Mahmoud Jibril has won Libya's first national elections according to results published on Tuesday.
His party, the National Forces Alliance, won 39 out of 80 seats, and the Muslim Brotherhood's Justice and Construction Party took 17.
Only 40% of Libya's 200 seats of Congress are reserved for political parties however. The 120 remaining seats are for individual candidtates, many of whom are believed to be supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
