Libya Intervention

The Libya intervention refers to the military action taken by NATO and several countries in 2011 to support rebels fighting against long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi. Triggered by widespread protests during the Arab Spring, this intervention aimed to protect civilians from violence by Gaddafi's forces. It included airstrikes and support for the opposition. While it helped to oust Gaddafi, the aftermath led to ongoing instability, civil conflict, and a fragmented political landscape in Libya. The intervention sparked debate about the effectiveness and consequences of foreign military involvement in internal conflicts.
