Profile summary of Libya

Libya is a country located in North Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west. The country has a long and complex history, and its modern political landscape has been shaped by a number of significant events and factors.

In 2011, the Libyan government, led by Muammar Gaddafi, was toppled in a civil war that was supported by a coalition of Western and Arab states. In the aftermath of the war, the country was left with a weak central government and was divided into rival factions, with two main rival governments vying for control: the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) based in the capital city of Tripoli, and the Libyan National Army (LNA) based in the eastern city of Tobruk.

The GNA is supported by a number of western and Arab countries, including Turkey, while the LNA is supported by a number of eastern and Arab countries, including Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. The situation in Libya has been further complicated by the presence of various armed groups and militias, as well as the involvement of outside powers, such as Russia and Turkey, which have provided military support to the rival factions.

The ongoing conflict in Libya has had significant humanitarian consequences, with widespread displacement and suffering among the civilian population. There have also been economic consequences, as the conflict has disrupted oil production, which is a major source of revenue for the country.

Efforts to resolve the conflict and establish a stable and unified government have been ongoing, but so far, there has been no permanent resolution. In recent years, there have been some efforts to negotiate a peace settlement and hold elections, but these efforts have been hampered by ongoing fighting and the interference of outside powers.
