Libya

Decline of Public Support for Humanitarian Intervention One of the key differences when it comes to Libya and Syria is how western public perception of humanitarian intervention has shifted. In the few short months following NATO intervention in Libya, support for humanitarian intervention in the United States (US) shrunk substantially and in a democratic country taking unpopular moves like promoting another intervention is likely a prominent concern domestically. US President Barack Obama discussed humanitarian intervention with overwhelming fervour and confidence when it came to US involvement in the Libyan Crisis, displaying his self-assurance that the public supported protecting the citizens of Libya. In contrast, Obama’s announcement…

Libya is a country bounded by Mediterranean sea, Egypt, Sudan, Niger, Chad, Tunisia, and Algeria. It is the first county to get independence in Africa, in 1951 (History World, n.d.). Libya was colonized by Italy form 1910 to 1947. The colonization started when the Italy troop lost the war prepared for Libya. After sometime, the Italians decided to come back to Libya. Italian kingdom then took control of the Ottoman provinces of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica. Italian have unified the two area as…

members of the Islamic State carefully executed planned attacks on the United States Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi, Libya. They attacked the building at gunpoint at 9:40pm, however the US Ambassadors hid in a secret room and could not be found, so the attackers burst the buildings into flames at 10:30pm, killing everyone hidden inside. The attacks continued at 4am when a brutal attack using mortars launched at a CIA facility, killing two Navy SEALs. This violence was completely senseless and…

Located in Northern Africa bordering the Mediterranean Sea, Libya was once an early center of Christianity in its earlier stages with Greece establishing colonies in the country prior to becoming part of the Roman Empire. Libya would not become a country of Islam until the Roman Empire had fallen and Libya invaded and occupied by other countries and empire to include the Ottoman Empire that would influence the religion of Islam in the country. Libya was the main setting for battle between Italy…

In Libya, Gaddafi has caused a huge impact on the citizens. He had killed many and he was hated by the citizens and the citizens want him to leave. Many of his own ministers are also against him because they fear their safety and want to help save Libya. Critics state that “several ambassadors, and key ministers, including the justice minister and Gaddafi’s No.2 man, one of the army officers who joined Gaddafi have [side] with the protestors.” (“Libya’s Tyrant Must Depart”). In a similar manner,…

United States had been struggling with foreign nations, such as Libya, specifically relations with Muammar Gaddafi (El-Gadhafi, Quadaffi, Qadhafi). Gaddafi, the Libyan dictator first came to power in 1969. Over the past few decades, the United States tried to solve conflicts with Libya diplomatically (SOURCE). Once Reagan was elected, he tried to continue the tradition of solving conflicts diplomatically. However, Gaddafi refused to take Reagan’s threats seriously. The conflict with Libya…

Role of Muammar Gaddafi in History Muammar Gaddafi is the colonel who ruled Libya for the longest time. He is considered one of the most unpredictable and appallingly intriguing leaders in Africa and in the Arab world. He presided over Libya, a desert republic with massive oil deposits and a total population of about six million people. Gaddafi had a poor family background. He was born 1942 in a rural area outside the town of Sire in the seats in western Libya. He had three sisters, and he was…

they would be shown a better place to colonize themselves. My assumption on this is so that the Libyans could use the newly vacant land from them for an expansion onto their own. Thus conquering without actually having to do any wrong to the land that they’d in a sense taken. The Libyans guided the people of Thera to a nicer area where “the sky leaks” so that the Therans could finally receive the rain they so desperately asked the gods for. The Libyans however by doing this set themselves up for…

What do you know about Africa?” Africa. Africa had had a lot of violent overthrows lately. Libya. Okay. I could talk about how the AU could not possibly have responded to the coup appropriately because the most appropriate response would have been to prevent it in the first place, to look at what was happening everywhere else and take proactive action instead of coming in afterwards. I could tie it together with a metaphor—cookies! If you’ve got a child who is set on having a cookie, and I mean…

Muammar Gaddafi: Libya’s Saviour From September 1st, 1969 to October 20th, 2011, Muammar Gaddafi ruled the country of Libya from his coup d'etat to the day he died. Gaddafi gained power in place of the terrible King Idris when he saw an opportunity to better his country. Although dissenters may claim that Muammar Gaddafi was a horrendous leader, he was, in reality, a benevolent figure that dedicated his life to the people of Libya and successfully transformed his country from a wasteland into a…
