For the past nine years, Libya has ceased to be a sovereign country. The North African oil producer has lost its independence, sense of pride, and self-worth. It’s a country very much in the throes of a vicious civil war fueled by external powers who have no issue with using Libya to pursue their own interests. In Libya, everything from the oil industry to political authority is divided.
The civil conflict pitting the internationally-recognized government in Tripoli against Field Marshall Khalifa Hiftar’s eastern-based Libyan National Army has stretched for nearly six years without an end in sight. Hiftar’s nearly year-long military offensive towards Tripoli has stalled, bringing militias ordinarily wary of each other in Libya’s west together in order to defend the capital. A bloody stalemate has ensued, with drones dropping their payloads on civilian targets
Libya Is Dead
There is no real interest in moving forward. That doesn't benefit anyone.
