Libya's transitional government said on Sunday that as of next month it will begin to register thousands of former rebel fighters who helped to overthrow the former regime of Muammar Gaddafi in an eight-month long armed struggle in order to integrate them within the security services.
Libya's interim defence minister, Osama al-Juwaili made the announcement on Sunday, as the transitional government will be testing the government's ability to get the rebel leaders to relinquish command of their fighters.
Planning minister Issa al-Tuijer said the plan calls for all former rebels, many of whom are still organised in disparate militias, to register and make clear if they want to join the national security forces.
