here in the russian capital this is r.t. now this week a saw nato officially announce the end of its aerial campaign in libya starting from next month the country's interim leadership will take control of all security responsibilities they're also tasked with rebuilding the country as well as preventing gadhafi era military stockpiles falling into the wrong has that's a tall order in a nation flooded with weapons and he said the way reports. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover arms in libya their number one fear warehouses thought to hold ground to air missiles which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through mate so our nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite a world country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons in its possession and those light weapons are becoming
6:02 am
a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security we try to control the bends and we check if there's somebody has work and we ask him if he has a third is a shoo in for this we are not. the. checkpoints have been set up across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question now is what if they don't and what does that mean up for parts gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under control and the only word thing that we will make some weekend is how to give back the weapons but we see something very different i asked the head commander what the plan is to disarm the population to
6:03 am
be i swear i don't know if you. select the internet as just at the home of the sea. and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are shown this. to these other weapons people brought to me today not many. walk down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many higher. so you know how many weapons there are in libya i think this lot have to have incentives yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi imposed revolt chaos as groups fight out a vicious battle for power. what you have now in libya is scores of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no
6:04 am
respect for mates or actually either they've opportunistically used mater to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to see now is an intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown with the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms at the end of the sea which could only be good daffy with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he said no way are teeth tripoli. was thought colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif al islam has fled to nigeria apparently looking to have himself over to the international criminal court has reportedly used a spokesperson to make contact with the hague to deny charges of crimes against humanity however some experts believe that putting gadhafi son on trial is the last thing some western leaders want to see artie's either bennett explains. to some
