A former Italian colony that became a kingdom in 1951, Libya was ruled from 1969 by Muammar Gaddafi until a 2011 uprising and NATO intervention overthrew him. It has been split since between rival governments and militias in the west and east, with a UN-backed Government of National Unity in Tripoli led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh and Khalifa Haftar’s forces controlling the east.

Caucus is free, has no ads and collects nothing about you. If it helped you learn something, you can chip in with crypto.
Our goal is simple: to help people understand politics, not just react to it. Democracies work better when citizens can tell a policy from a slogan, know where leaders actually stand and are able to meet ideas they disagree with. Political literacy is what protects us from manipulation and polarization, and it is the first step to taking part in public life. Caucus turns ten dimensions, hundreds of leaders and thinkers and every country's political history into something you can explore in minutes, and keeps it free and private for everyone. Your donation keeps it independent, ad-free and growing.
