Libya (Arabic: ليبيا Lībiyā) is a country in the Maghreb region of 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 three traditional parts of the country are Tripolitania, Fezzan and Cyrenaica. With an area of almost 1.8 million square kilometres (700,000 sq mi), Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa, and is the 16th largest country in the world. Libya has the 10th-largest proven oil reserves of any country in the world.
The largest city and capital, Tripoli, is located in western Libya and contains over one million of Libya's six million people. The other large city is Benghazi, which is located in eastern Libya.
Libya has been inhabited by Berbers since the late Bronze Age. The Phoenicians established trading posts in western Libya, and Ancient Greek colonists established city-states in eastern Libya. Libya was variously ruled by Persians, Egyptians and Greeks before becoming a part of the Roman Empire. Libya was an early center of Christianity. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the area of Libya was mostly occupied by the Vandals until the 7th century, when invasions brought Islam and Arab colonization. In the sixteenth century, the Spanish Empire and the Knights of St John occupied Tripoli, until Ottoman rule began in 1551. Libya was involved in the Barbary Wars of the 18th and 19th centuries. Ottoman rule continued until the Italian occupation of Libya resulted in the temporary Italian Libya colony from 1911 to 1943. During the Second World War Libya was an important area of warfare in the North African Campaign. The Italian population then went into decline. Libya became an independent kingdom in 1951.
Tourism in Libya is an industry still in its infancy but one that will gradually start growing. The country is best known for its ancient Greek and Roman ruins and Sahara desert landscapes. There are five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country, three of which are classical ruins. The Roman cities of Sabratha and Leptis Magna in Western Libya and the Greek ruins of Cyrene in the East are big tourist attractions. One of the attractions of Libya's archeological sites, is that they are not as heavily populated by tourists as are other ancient sites in North Africa and southern Europe.

Thank you so much to my hosts in Libya for providing me with a unique and eclectic experience during my brief stay.

I stayed with a family who's home was surrounded with a tall concrete fence and barbed wire, for safety. Two of the friends who showed me around were equipped with hand guns for my safety, which made me feel very comfortable since we were out until 9pm exploring Tripoli and it's dangerous to be out at night.

Travel video about destination Tripoli in Libya. Tripoli is the capital of the desert state of Libya.

Deep inside Libya's Naufosa Mountains, in the Berber village of Gharyan, one can find a thousand unique troglodyte cave houses. These unusual dwellings are located 120 kilometers from the country's capital, Tripoli. The homes are dug six to seven meters vertically into the mountain, creating rooms circled around a central courtyard housing several families. Residents hope their unique village can attract tourists after the elections. "This house was dug out in the year 1666 which makes it a 346-year-old house," says the current owner of the house Al-Arabi Bilhaj. "Omar Bilhaj, his sons, his grandchildren and great grandchildren lived in this house. Since it was dug out, it hasn't been abandoned a single day. The house has eight rooms and three kitchens.

It was a strategic stronghold for the terrorist group, with access to the sea and nearby oil refineries. But since May, a coalition of militias and forces loyal to Libya's UN-backed unity government (GNA) have been retaking the city and the remaining jihadists are now cornered in one last district.

Rebel militias, radical Islamists and former Qaddafi commander Khalifa Haftar are among the different groups vying for power and oil wealth, creating a vacuum in which violence and militancy reign supreme. VICE News filmmaker Medyan Dairieh was in Libya in 2011 to witness the revolution. This year, he returned to follow members of the 17th February battalion, a rebel group fighting against Haftar’s forces.

It has been six years since a popular uprising led to the fall of the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Libyans were hoping for an era of democracy, economic prosperity and social peace, but little has been achieved. The country has also been unable to restore stability or establish a viable government system.

As the world assesses the political implications for Libya following the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the business world is questioning how long it will take the oil rich nation to get back on its feet.
In Libya, many are struggling to get the basics of everyday life. Many businesses have shut down during three years of civil war. And the financial crisis is only getting worse as rival governments continue their battle for power.

Libya's economy is on its knees because of volatile oil prices, a slump in reserves and a civil war that is just holding as a United Nations truce holds.The country is currently producing a paltry 400,000 barrels of oil per day, compared to its 2011 levels of 1.5 million barrels per day. Economic systems are slow or not working at all as attacks on oil fields increase and oil production shrinks. The Central Bank, moreover, is part of the tug-of-war between rival the governments and Libyan banks do not have foreign currencies forcing many traders and visitors to exhorbitant black market dealers. The Director of Information at the country's Central Bank admits that that the bank has reached an extreme financial crisis
Libya's economy is in the midst of a post-revolution boom that the International Monetary Fund says should see economic activity double this year, compared to last year with its eight months of war. That would push Libya's economic activity well above 2010, the last full year of Moammar Gadhafi's reign. VOA's Al Pessin spoke to Libyans in Tripoli about their nation's economy and their daily lives.
The aftershocks from the violence in Libya are being felt in the Maltese economy. The island's exports to the North African nation totalled 85 million euros last year. Malta's GDP amounts to some 5.6 billion euros As the unrest shutters Libyan businesses and banks, one local Maltese entrepreneur explained how its impact was being felt across the Mediterranean. ... http://www.euronews.net/
Libya is on the verge of economic and financial collapse. The oil dependent economy has been wracked by political instability and fighting between armed factions in oil producing regions has significantly reduced production levels. The country's new Western-backed government is trying to bring the battered oil industry back to full output, and confront the threat posed by the Islamic state at the same time.
Libya is in the grip of the worst factional fighting since its civil war three years ago. The economy in recovery mode for a short term is now crumbling once again.

Arabic/Eng/Nat Libya is banking on tourism to rescue its battered economy, when the embargo against the country is finally lifted. Sanctions have been in force since 1992 following Libya's refusal to surrender the Lockerbie bomb suspects for trial. Now, as the world marks the tenth anniversary of the bombing, Libyans are waiting for a deal that would end the air embargo - and allow tourists in to visit. The twinkling lights of a fairground at night. Smart stores stocked with luxury clothing and consumer goods. All appears prosperous. But appearances can deceive. For this is Libya, seven years into the embargo. Most of the shoppers here are browsing, not buying. This is the harsh reality of life for most Libyans. It's a daily struggle to survive in Tripoli, a city that's be...

They also faced difficulties in their work during the rule of Muammar Qaddafi and have been under intense pressure since the start of the conflict. a doctor at the hospital said, "Sabha Hospital is like any other hospital in Libya.

Walking in heavy rain & brisk winds seniors and peace activists demanded that Obama stop his blood thirsty war bombardment of the independent nation of Libya. Health care is free in Libya School is free in Libya, but religious men in Libya do not want women to be educated, so they want to split Libya & make a religious state with the oil, so the men can enslave the women. Obama is a war criminal for attacking Libya. Most Americans oppose the US attack on the Libyan civil war over oil.
As the new Libyan government struggles to keep the country's economy afloat, and the warring parties at bay, one sector has been literally falling apart - Libya's health system. Many hospitals have been forced to shut down entire departments. With medicines, doctors and medical supplies very scarce, Libya's sick and wounded are greatly bearing the brunt of political instability.

Travel video about destination Tripolitania in Libya. Tripolitania: at first sight there are few traces of this ancient and legendary place in northwest Libya but it once had three great cities, Sabratha, Leptis Magna And Oea, Tripoli, once named Oea, dates back to the 7th century B.C. when Tripoli was an important trading centre for the Carthaginians. As much as anything else it is the local plants, majestic palm trees and impressive cacti that give Tripoli its Mediterranean atmosphere. Clearly, the influence of the sea is only present close to the coast as a few kilometres inland is endless desert. An eye-catching landmark that dates back to the time of the corsairs is the Citadel in Tripoli’s harbour. The Arabs enlarged the original Byzantine complex to a fortress and for a short sp...

The book of Acts was written by Luke, a medical doctor who took an interest in the teachings of Jesus through his mentor, Peter. He’s examined the evidence for Jesus’ life in his earlier letter, the Gospel of Luke, and this time he’s looking at what happened to those who decided to continue following Jesus. Jesus has given his followers a huge mission – we learned this last week – to share his good news with the entire world. To the ends of the earth! He gave this mission to twelve central disciples and a hundred or so people who may have gathered around them in this story.

Rebel militias, radical Islamists and former Qaddafi commander Khalifa Haftar are among the different groups vying for power and oil wealth, creating a vacuum in which violence and militancy reign supreme. VICE News filmmaker Medyan Dairieh was in Libya in 2011 to witness the revolution. This year, he returned to follow members of the 17th February battalion, a rebel group fighting against Haftar’s forces. Dairieh witnessed first-hand how life after the Libyan revolution has devolved into lawlessness and Islamic State-linked extremism. Watch “VICE News Archives: ...
Al Jazeera World - Libya's Shifting Sands: Sirte In the second episode of Libya's Shifting Sands, Libyan government-backed forces find themselves fighting ISIL in the central coastal city of Sirte, 850 kilometres west of Derna. ISIL moved on Sirte before it was forced from Derna, partly because it saw cities where the majority of people were opposed to the revolution of 2011 as prime targets. But by 2015, the government troops were fighting a losing battle. They expected to be boosted by forces controlled by the renegade General Khalifa Haftar - but his operation proved less effective than anticipated. In Derna, the government forces and local armed Islamist groups accused Haftar of colluding with ISIL. They referred to his group as Operation Dignity forces, after his campaign against s...

Six years after Muammar Gaddafi’s fall in 2011, fighting between rival government and militias has plunged Libya into anarchy, creating a vacuum for groups like ISIS to move into. Last year, ISIS took control of the port city of Sirte, Gaddafi’s former hometown and the largest ISIS stronghold outside Iraq and Syria. But local militias, backed by U.S. airstrikes, recaptured Sirte after a seven month-long battle that ended in December. Yet the fractious local militias guarding Sirte still have no real control over the territory. And ISIS is regrouping nearby, raising fears that Libya’s new slide toward anarchy could pave the way for an ISIS comeback. VICE News reports from Sirte.

With the country divided between rival clans, some are beginning to miss the old regime, however despised it was at the time. Our reporter Charles Emptaz went to Zintan, near Tripoli, which was the scene of fierce fighting between revolutionaries and pro-Gaddafi loyalists. Zintan is a city like no other. Perched high in Libya’s north-western Nafusa Mountains, near the capital Tripoli, it played a key role in the revolution. It was here that Gaddafi’s first missiles fell in the west of the country. It was also in Zintan that Saif al-I...

In remote southwest Sahara, the indigenous Tuareg tribe — variously used and discriminated against by former strongman Muammar Qaddafi — fight for their place in a post-revolutionary Libya. Living deep in Libya’s desert near large oil fields and lucrative smuggling routes, hundreds of miles from Libya’s capital, the Tuareg find themselves impoverished and isolated on this prized land. Nowhere is this felt more than in the oasis town of Ubari. Here the Tuareg are pitted against former neighbors in a proxy battle for assets and power, backed by government and international interests. VICE News travels to meet the Tuareg on the front lines of Ubari and the border town of Ghat, to find out what is really happening in this rarely visited land.

Some believe it is about protecting civilians, others say it is about oil, but some are convinced intervention in Libya is all about Gaddafi's plan to introduce the gold dinar, a single African currency made from gold, a true sharing of the wealth. "It's one of these things that you have to plan almost in secret, because as soon as you say you're going to change over from the dollar to something else, you're going to be targeted," s...
In a desperate bid to seek a better life in Europe, thousands of refugees and migrants leave the shores of Libya and cross the perilous Mediterranean Sea every month. Over 2,000 people have died making the journey in 2015 alone. The routes to and journey through Libya are also dangerous, however, and since the fall of Muammar Qaddafi in 2011, the country has struggled to achieve and maintain stability. Porous desert borders, rival fighters, and weak governance have left much of Libya in complete chaos. With militias controlling large swathes of land, their attentions have turned to the people that cross their territories. The fighters assert they are bringing order to the country as they detain the refugees, yet these people’s lives have become valuable commodities to the militias as th...

God only knows when she will be back
The only thing I know as sure as
