That's the headline on the Reuters news site at the moment.
At first blush you want to think, finally! The people are putting a stop to the rule of misrule by the militias that have run amok in the last year.
Or maybe the non-existent central government has finally got its ducks in enough of a row to establish a bit of law and order. So far they've not shown any interest in governing anything other than the oil exports.
But when you read the article you realize it's nothing of the sort. One Islamist militia has been swept out of town by other Islamist militias.
That's what Western media consider a good-news story out of Libya a year after we dispatched the Colonel.
