Abstract

Abstract Libya's crisis has lasted nearly a decade. Since the death of the dictator Muammar Qaddafi in 2011, the country has experienced instability and turmoil that has progressively escalated into a state of civil war. After such a long period of violence and armed struggle, the consequences for the Libyan economy, infrastructure, and the social fabric of its population have been dramatic and severe. The country is failing to find a balance for a solution to its problems, and the impact of this deadlock is reverberating throughout the region and beyond. Even though the war in Libya is one of the longest conflicts that is affecting the region, the crisis remains largely neglected. The attention given to Libya is generally limited to counterterrorism operations or, especially for Europeans, to its role as a node in the flow of human migration into Europe. However, it is evident that the consequences of this conflict are considerably affecting the major geopolitical dynamics of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
