Libyan Opposition to Form a New Government

The forces opposing Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi have formed an alternative government, the National Provisional Council.  It is led by thirty members from "liberated cities" across Libya and is working closely with military leaders who are coordinating the various armed opposition groups.

A spokesperson for the group has said that they are pleased that so many of Libya's diplomatic corps has ceased recognizing the Gadhafi government.

Thus far they have asked for two things of the international community.  The first was that the National Provisional Council be recognized as legitimate government of Libya.  Their second request was for the enforcement of a no fly zone, especially from the direction of Niger, Chad, and Mali, three sources of the infamous mercenaries hired by Gadhafi since the beginning of the protests.
