The pro-Gaddafists remaining in Libya came to be known as the Green Movement, and were formalized into the Libyan Popular National Movement party, established by Khuwaildi al-Hamidi.
Kelompok pro-Gaddafi yang tersisa di Libya kemudian dikenal dengan sebutan Gerakan Hijau, dan kemudian diresmikan dalam bentuk Gerakan Nasional Rakyat Libya yang didirikan oleh Khuwaildi al-Hamidi.
