The former president of the Transitional Council said the revolution had succeeded in removing a totalitarian regime in Libya. "If he had remained in power for a thousand years, he would have brought no reform."
Abdul Jalil said that Libya no longer has any room to be ruled by anyone with a totalitarian regime.
Abdul Jalil was previously Minister of Justice during Gaddafi's rule.
