If Libya has a government this morning, then it is the rebels’ cabinet in waiting – the executive board or council of the National Transitional Council. But there’s a problem. It was dissolved a fortnight ago and a new one has yet to be appointed. So, for now, the former members still hold the portfolios. But who are they? We know about Mahmoud Jibril, but does anyone know much about the others? Some of these names may have changed by now, but this is the best list I’ve been able to find..
THE EXECUTIVE BOARD of the NTC – “cabinet in waiting”
Mahmoud Jibril – chairman
Ali Al Issawi – vice-chairman of the executive board, foreign affairs
Ali Al Tarhuni – finance and oil
Galal Degheli – military affairs and defence
Ahmad Al Darrat – internal affairs and local government
Mahmoud Shammam – media
Attia Al Ogali – culture and community
Dr Hania Al Gamati – social welfare
Dr Naji Barakat – health
Abdullah Shamia – economics
Abdulgassim Nimr – environment
Suliman El Sahli – education
Kaseem Azoze – national bank
Noure Bourowean – national oil company
Anwar Al Faytouri – transportation and communication
Ahmed Jehani – transformation and infrastructure
Muhamad al Allagi – justice
