[quote:Anonymous Coward 54153621:MV8zMDUxNjUyXzU0MjMwOTY4X0IxQUQwMzhF] [b][i]No easy options for West to dislodge IS from Libya: analysts[/i][/b] 1/6/16 [i][b]And would any NATO country be prepared to send troops into the vast desert country? [/b] "IS has clearly established a foothold in Libya, and it's a matter of growing concern for the United Kingdom and other NATO countries, so it (military intervention) is certainly possible," Malcolm Chalmers of the London-based Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think-tank said. "The question is what the scale and nature of an intervention might be, and that will depend very much on how the threat develops over the next month."[/i] http://news.yahoo.com/no-easy-options-west-dislodge-libya-analysts-191349537.html --- Some NATO countries were prepared to (and did) bomb the living hell out of the place a few years back. Which of course caused all of this mess in the first place. Maybe they won't be so eager to send troops into the quagmire they helped create. [/quote]
Original Message
In 2011, during the 'Arab Spring', NATO forces and western-backed militias brought down the government of Muammar Gaddafi, leader of Libya.
This thread is about the aftermath of that action.
