TRIPOLI / / The head of Libya's interim leadership used his first public speech in the capital to ask the people to let the law handle members of the old regime.
Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the head of the National Transitional Council (NTC), also pleaded with his countrymen to rally together under a moderate strain of Islam.
"We need to open the courts to anyone who harmed the Libyan people in any way," said Mr Jalil, a former minister of justice under Colonel Muammar Qaddafi.
Speaking to 10,000 cheering people in Martyrs Square on Monday, he added: "We seek a state of law, prosperity and one where Sharia is the main source for legislation. This requires many things and conditions."
Mr Jalil's words reflect his attempts to walk the line between conservative Islamic groups and secular liberals, many of whom are Libyans returning from abroad.
The challenges are plentiful. Officials point to increasingly fraught relations between different camps about the future of the country, especially with elections more than eight months away.
The Tripoli military council has called for the resignation of Mahmoud Jibril, the acting prime minister, saying he has lost the confidence of the people, according to the Associated Press.
This comes as thousands of people across the country last week held demonstrations against the so-called "climbers".
The term describes former Qaddafi loyalists who defected to the rebels near the end of the conflict and said they had been forced to act by the old regime.
Mr Jibril served as Col Qaddafi's head of the National Economic Development Board from 2007 to earlier this year.
The issue of the "climbers" has emerged as Libya's first major political topic since the downfall of the regime.
There is also the issue of geographic differences. Col Qaddafi held the country's three geographic regions together by force.
Libya has traditionally been made up of three areas - Tripolitania in the west, Fezzan in the south and Cyrenaica in the east.
Mohammed Omar Mukhtar, the 90-year-old son of the freedom fighter Omar Mukhtar, who fought the Italians and was executed 80 years ago on Friday, said: "The first blood was spilled in the east, so we feel some importance in this revolution.
"We will feel like one country again. I would love to visit free Tripoli. This war, if God wills it, is bringing all Libyans together. In a way, Qaddafi made the nation by fighting us."
Mr Mukhtar, who lives in Benghazi, said the capture of Col Qaddafi, his sons and aides was important to Libya's reconciliation.
"We can't let him escape to Africa," he said. "If he is alive, he will bother us for the rest of our lives. He won't stop."
Three top generals who served under Col Qaddafi were negotiating for political refugee status in Niger, according to the AP, but the whereabouts of the former leader is still unknown.
A major impediment to a smooth transition to democracy is the proliferation of weapons among ordinary citizens, who until six months ago would not have touched a gun except during mandatory service in the army.
NTC officials have said they will not start programmes to get weapons out of civilian hands until elections are held.
This leaves the country with the threat of anti-government actions by dozens of semi-autonomous, heavily armed brigades of rebel fighters.
Some groups in Misurata, the country's third-largest city that saw some of the worst destruction and highest losses during the revolution, have vowed not fall in line with the NTC.
On an individual basis, guns are stymying debate.
"If I am sitting with someone who has a gun, I will not bring up sensitive things," said Saleh Senoussi, a professor of international relations at the University of Benghazi. "But we need to have discussions. Now is the time for talking to create a new Libya."
"We just want a new dictator, a good Qaddafi," said Mohammed Yemeni, who returned to Libya from Malta to help take care of his family during the fighting.
He plans to go back as soon as things quiet down.
"I don't think we are ready for democracy yet. Nobody will listen to anyone else, no matter what."

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.
Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.
“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.
“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.
“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”

Water waste
In the UAE’s arid climate, small shrubs, bushes and flower beds usually require about six litres of water per square metre, daily. That increases to 12 litres per square metre a day for small trees, and 300 litres for palm trees.
Horticulturists suggest the best time for watering is before 8am or after 6pm, when water won't be dried up by the sun.
A global report published by the Water Resources Institute in August, ranked the UAE 10th out of 164 nations where water supplies are most stretched.
The Emirates is the world’s third largest per capita water consumer after the US and Canada.

Iftar programme at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding
Established in 1998, the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding was created with a vision to teach residents about the traditions and customs of the UAE. Its motto is ‘open doors, open minds’. All year-round, visitors can sign up for a traditional Emirati breakfast, lunch or dinner meal, as well as a range of walking tours, including ones to sites such as the Jumeirah Mosque or Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood.
Every year during Ramadan, an iftar programme is rolled out. This allows guests to break their fast with the centre’s presenters, visit a nearby mosque and observe their guides while they pray. These events last for about two hours and are open to the public, or can be booked for a private event.
Until the end of Ramadan, the iftar events take place from 7pm until 9pm, from Saturday to Thursday. Advanced booking is required.
