Inside The Room - The Libya Conflict: The Aftermath (Part Three)

<p>How can it be ensured countries will face a better future after a large-scale military intervention? It’s a question which applies to both politicians dealing with the war in Iran today, and for politicians dealing with the aftermath of Muammar Gaddafi’s killing in 2011.</p><br /><p>In this third and final part of this series, Ed Balls, George Osborne, and Sir John Sawers reflect on the fallout of the 42-year regime in Libya coming to an end. Who was responsible for post-war failures? Was there a case for putting boots on the ground? And what were the unexpected repercussions for geopolitics?</p><br /><p>They also discuss their immediate reactions to Gaddafi’s death and the shocking way in which he was killed.</p><br /><p>Ed and George then press Sir John on what this all could mean for the ongoing situation in Iran, plus what he really thinks of how Keir Starmer has handled it.</p><br /><p>Thanks for listening.
