Voice of America's Carol Castiel sat down with Carnegie's Frederic Wehrey to discuss the political challenges facing Libya and Saudi Arabia respectively. Wehrey highlighted the obstacles Libya faces in reining in militias and building political, economic, and security institutions in the post-Qaddafi era. He also described the persistent challenges of sectarianism in the Gulf as well as the Saudi regime's attempts to play fractious opposition groups off of one another.
