Libya, located in North Africa, has undergone profound political upheaval since the ousting of longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 during the Arab Spring. The country has since struggled with political fragmentation, security challenges, and economic difficulties. Governed as a transitional government, the political landscape is characterized by a complex web of competing factions and militias, with two major rival administrations based in the east and west. The eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA) under Khalifa Haftar and the UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) led by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah represent key power centers, highlighting the deep divisions. Political parties play a limited role, and various armed groups exert significant influence. Libya’s oil-dependent economy has faced disruptions due to conflict, leading to economic challenges, high inflation, and unemployment. The country’s rich historical heritage, including ancient Roman ruins and the Sahara Desert, contrasts with the contemporary struggles it faces. Despite international efforts to broker peace and stability, Libya remains in a fragile state, grappling with humanitarian crises, migration issues, and the influence of external actors in shaping its future. The complex interplay of local and global dynamics continues to impact Libya’s prospects for political reconciliation and sustainable development. GETZIPCODES: Features democracy and rights of Libya.
