The Civil War Of Libya

Italy did make strides in modernizing Libya; they built roads, highways, ports, and railways. These improvements were mostly for the Italian settlers. Libyans were treated as second-class citizens during the Italian occupation. The best farmland was given out to the Italian settlers, who would hire Libyans to work that land. The schools that Italians built were mainly for Italian settlers, and were often much better than Libyan schools meaning there was less opportunity for the Libyans.

A refugee is defined as a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war or persecution. Since the communist victory in Vietnam in 1975, Australia has become a desirable location for hundreds of thousands of refugees as a result of the pleasant lifestyle and an abundance of employment opportunities. The experiences of Indochinese refugees in the 1970’s and present day refugees contain both similar and contrasting elements. Refugees no longer flee from countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos instead they arrive to Australia from war-ravaged nations in the Middle East such as Iraq and Syria. Nevertheless, these countries are all victims of war and people continue to seek refuge as a consequence of conflict and fear

Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of modern time. The “Syrian Civil war Began in March of 2011, between rebel brigades and government force; economy and infrastructure is destroyed” (Library, 2016). “Divisions between secular and religious fighters, and between ethnic groups, continue to complicate the politics of the conflict” (Corps, 2016). Additionally, the Syrian civil war has taken a significant

Libya is a country east of Egypt with just over 6,000,000 people. Libya’s first ruler was King Idris I, he was elected after World War II when the people were looking for a new leader. He was Libya's only King. He established embassies with many large countries such as the U.S. and also allowed U.S. military to come in to restore and maintain the rights of the Libyan people in his first decade as a king. After King Idris I died in 1969, Libya fell apart. A new ruler, Gaddafi, began destroying Libya and its government. In 1972 tensions increased so much between the American and Libyan governments the American ambassador was removed from the embassy in Tripoli. In 1979 all American embassy workers were removed after an attack. In 2011 the people

Today 60 million refugees, and asylum seekers are internally displaced . This is almost double what it was 10 years ago. Mega conflicts in Syria and Iraq have displaced millions of people. These are conflicts that are pushing refugees and migrants into flight. The world is in the midst of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Yet Australia’s approach in recent years has been to punish people seeking asylum, while increasing the numbers of refugees it resettles. This contrasting approach threatens the long and proud history Australia has of successful integration of refugee communities. This report reflects what we have heard from refugees and people seeking asylum, and the people supporting them. We thank all of the people who contributed to this report. The past two years have been a dramatic and traumatic period for refugees, both at home and abroad. More people are seeking safety – from persecution, conflict, violence and violations of human rights – than at any time since World War II. In the past two years, we have seen lifeless children washing up on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. We have seen ordinary Europeans lining up to help refugees at train stations. We have seen Australians demanding successfully that their leaders let in an extra 12,000 people fleeing the crises in Syria and Iraq.

The efficiency of humanitarian intervention is normative because of people having different views on the output and the unlikeliness of every one being pleased by the new regime therefore it is very hard to affirm the real results of the intervention. In 2011, a group of countries intervened during the Libyan civil war, which lead to the abolition of Muammar Gadhafi’s regime. The Operation Unified Protector by NATO was partly successful because they achieved to kill the dictator on 20th October, but partly ineffective because the standards of living in Libya have not increased and the state is facing a lack of government’s ruling. This case study supports the statement that HI could be an abandoned project as it is not always favourable to everyone.

Body paragraph Although the American and Libya revolutions took place in very different times and places, the conditions that led to rebellion were similar. These historical dates have connections to each other with the Arab spring/Libya. And American revolution weather its about taxes, corrupt government.

Interesting topic! When reading your post, a question came to mind, does the Libyan crisis lie in government, struggle of power or the distrust toward Libya’s public financial system? Your research seems very broad, how might the topic be narrow down, so you concentrate on the most important aspect of your questions? Additionally, which questions are you concentrating on the

Informants watched people in government offices, factories, and schools, and dissidents both at home and living abroad were executed or assassinated.” (Recknagel, 2011:1) As well, fear was instilled across the country from Gaddafi’s forty member team of highly trained women bodyguards. Gaddafi had previously been linked to supporting many terrorist attacks, such as, the Lockerbie bombing and the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing. Therefore, from a realist perspective, Libyans had a legitimate reason to resort to civil war because of rational self interest. Libyans feared what actions the regime may undertake if they remained in power.

The C.A.R is undergoing a civil conflict since of 2012, thousands of people have been killed during the massacre. Battles between Christians and Muslims were common. Out of the population of 4.4 million at the time, 600,000 citizens were internally displaced and half a million fled for a chance of a better life. The scale and intensity of food security is unprecedented, an estimated number of 2.5 million are being affected by the crisis which is more than half the country’s population and double as many people since September 2014.

Libya’s has gone under foreign rule for many centuries until it obtained its independence in 1951 from Italy. After Libya has acquired its independence from Italy, they have established the United Kingdom of Libya under the King Muhammad Idris. After Libya has gained its independence, Libya was one of the weak states around the globe. Libya was the biggest recipient of foreign aid from other countries such as the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

After the seperation of the Libyan army, military duties were allocated to the three sons of Gaddafi (Mutassim, Khamis and Hannibal), who lead the top units, mercenaries, (African Islamic Battalion), which was founded after the choice to separate the army in 1975 AD. This choice was made after the coup try of Omar Meheshi. This drove Gaddafi to believe that the army portrayed the biggest intimidation to his power, so he discontinued it under the name of an “Armed People” as a possible choice, where the civilians were taught to use weapons. This initiative stayed under the discipline and subjection of the administration, and the caretaking of supporters from citizen soldiers and private security forces led by his sons or representatives of his tribe, at the cost of the country’s original army. By this the army completely changed, as foreseen by Ibn Khaldun, to secret warriors and citizen soldiers named the “People’s Leaders”, which had the authority to watch and care for neighbourhoods in the cities. Gaddafi’s structure of governance made sure his power and the dominance of his tribe, radically hurt the State. For most of the Gaddafi time, the State was portrayed by its

The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group was formed in the early 1990s and officially announced its existence in 1995 (LIFG n.d. para. 4). The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group originally formed in Afghanistan and then relocated to Libya where its goal was to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi who was the president of Libya at the time and to restore the regime with a hard-line Islamic state. The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group for years has worked in secrecy in Libya. At the time they only had a few hundred members. Then in 1995, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group launched a low-level insurgency.

A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to
