The Libyan Civil War

The Libyan Civil War is a conflict that began in 2011 when protests against strongman Muammar Gaddafi's rule escalated into armed rebellion. After Gaddafi's overthrow and death, Libya faced ongoing violence as competing groups, including Islamist factions, militias, and political rivals, vied for control. The country remains divided, with multiple governments and ongoing instability, complicating efforts for peace and rebuilding. The war reflects broader struggles over governance, political power, and resources, leading to a fragile, unsettled nation with widespread humanitarian concerns.
