[quote:Anonymous Coward 54153621:MV8zMDUxNjUyXzU0MzYzNzQxX0UxRDAwNzk5] [b][i]Libya: To Be or Not to Be, That Is the Question?[/i][/b] 1/13/16 [i]Rabat – In 2011 when Gaddafi was killed by the mob or the militias, everybody believed that it was a new beginning for the country: a free and democratic Libya. In the aftermath, Libya did not become free and was not democratic, in the least. Instead, it became fractured, violent, tribal, patriarchal and divided. Rather than starting a new chapter and a new life, Libya, alas, was sliding slowly but surely into a tenebrous abyss resembling some sort of a hell or purgatory chamber. Over the years, as violence became a daily casual occurrence, Libya almost became synonymous of disorder and dissonance in the news and the views and there were even thoughts that it is on its way to become a sister country of God-forsaken Somalia. However, hope emerged anew with the United Nations attempt to negotiate a national agreement through UNMSIL (United Nations support Mission in Libya).[/i] http://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2016/01/177314/libya-to-be-or-not-to-be-that-is-the-question/ --- Lengthy, but worth a look.

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.
