It is absolutely nothing like Libya, where you had a discrete chunk of the old government split off/defect and establish pretty effective control over insurgency. So I think the fiefdoms would be much more likely in the event that the existing state were somehow crushed.

Outside of Tripoli and a western coastal city, the place is run by a bunch of feuding militias. The oil companies run the rest.
