Libya (2011 intervention)

In 2011, international nations intervened in Libya to prevent the oppressive government of Muammar Gaddafi from harming civilians during widespread protests and an uprising. Under the authorization of the United Nations, they conducted military strikes to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians from Gaddafi’s forces. The intervention aimed to support the rebel groups seeking to oust Gaddafi, ultimately leading to his overthrow. The operation was complex, involving diplomatic efforts and military action, and had lasting impacts on Libya’s political stability and regional security.
