Libya's former foreign minister, based in the country's east, says political decisions are no longer Libyan, as he recalls several missed opportunities since 2011.
A kleptocracy with frozen politics and billions missing from the public treasury, the situation couldn't be worse. Trump could apply pressure to help matters, but it's not his top priority.
Israel wants the total dismantlement and scrapping of all Iranian nuclear facilities, just like in Libya two decades ago. That is unrealistic for several reasons.
While he never underwent any real military training, he has been crucial to his father's bloody power struggle. He is now being backed by a range of powers to be Libya's next leader.
Instead of civil war between armed groups, a new kind of war is being fought over Libya's vast wealth—especially control of the central bank and oil production
A fight over the nation's piggy bank is emblematic of the squabbles and elbowing since Gaddafi. In one of the world's most heavily armed yet least secure states, a central banker must be on guard.
No stranger to rivalries, the governor of the Central Bank of Libya is technocrat who has had to develop his political wiles, most recently clashing with the prime minister. Is this the next Gaddafi?
Thirteen years after its revolution, Libya is divided between east and west, each with its own respective administrations, foreign backers and tribal rivalries
The country's 'safe-haven' reserves were looted in 2011 when tonnes went missing just before Gaddafi was ousted. Now, after a big purchase last year, there are worries for its security.
Because the government ceded an unhealthy degree of authority to local militias and tribal intermediaries, no one can dismantle these groups without risking their own lives.
The strait carries up to 20% of the world's oil exports at around 20 million barrels of oil each day. Any closure could cost the global economy greatly, even if only for a short time.
De-escalation is in the overwhelming interest of most countries in the region and the world, and we could see many extend a hand to help bring the conflict to an end
Trump and Netanyahu disagree on whether to use military force to stop Iran's nuclear programme, and Israel's punishing attack on Iran places the region on a worrisome trajectory
