A liberal coalition takes an early lead in vote counting on Sunday but with 3,700 candidates and more than 130 parties it is too early to call. Preliminary results are expected Monday.

The story of Libya’s revolution demanded to be told, says Lindsey Hilsum, who has written Sandstorm; Libya in the Time of Revolution.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son and one-time heir apparent of toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, will move to a prison in Tripoli within weeks, and face trial in Libya.

Speeding along the road towards Tripoli, on 2 September, some graffiti caught my eye. It was scrawled in English, on a wall in the town of Zahwiya, where the uprising against Gaddafi had been so brutally put down. The message was exquisite in its simplicity. It read: “WE ARE NOT RATS.”

A home movie from 2005, discovered in Tripoli this week, shows Muammar Gaddafi in light-hearted mood as he plays with his granddaughter and grandson at his Bab al-Aziziya compound.
