During his 42 years in power, Qaddafi surrounded himself with advisers who were companions from his youth, supplemented by a small coterie of technocrats. As a result, the leaders of the revolt that overthrew him have little government experience.
在执政的42年间，卡扎菲身边的顾问一直是自己年轻时的玩伴，然后就是一些技术专家。结果，推翻其政府的领导人所具备的政府经验微乎其微。此外，在一个将任何政治活动均视为叛逆行为的国家，很多人预测刚成立的NTC从开始就会遭受重重困难。而事实上也的确如此。
