[quote:Anonymous Coward 54153621:MV8zMDUxNjUyXzYwMjY5ODA5XzVFMUExREEz] [b][i]Despite fierce fighting, Daesh still making gains in Libya[/i][/b] 12/2/16 [i]In a hearing statement, US Department of State Special Envoy, Jonathan Winer, told legislators that Daesh fighters who have managed to escape the fighting in Sirte and Benghazi have probably “gone underground, forming cells elsewhere in the country”. “We believe they are waiting for opportunities to engage in further attacks in Libya or its neighbours, and if possible to reassert [Daesh] geographically,” he explained. Winer praised Libya’s Government of National Accord (GNA) for being a “steadfast” partner with the US in the fight against Daesh, however, he warned Libya against any complacency in its progress against Daesh militants.[/i] https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20161202-despite-fierce-fighting-daesh-still-making-gains-in-libya/ [/quote]

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.
