Libya’s transition was arguably further impeded by NATO’s intervention, as the rapid shift from a spontaneous popular uprising to an elite-led and externally supported movement prevented the revolution from following the linear course seen in Tunisia and Egypt. Thus, despite substantial international support, the Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) still lacks the level of consensus needed to form a viable government.
显然，利比亚的过渡因为北约的干预而遭到了进一步的妨碍，北约的干预使得利比亚的群众起义迅速地演变为精英领导的、受外部势力支持的运动，而没有发展为突尼斯和埃及这样的线性革命过程。因此，尽管受到了大量的国际支持，利比亚全国过渡委员会（NTC）仍然缺乏形成可靠政府的一致。
