Report from Ana Gomes' visit to Libya

Ana Gomes, MEP (Portugal), European Parliament rapporteur for Libya, visited the country from September 18-22, 2011. During the 5-day visit to Tripoli, Zawia, the Nafusa mountain towns of Yefren and Gilaa, and Misurata, Gomes met with representatives from the National Liberation Army, National Transition Council, youth and women activists, the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for Libya, Ian Martin, along with many others.
