Politics of Libya

The politics of Libya has been in an uncertain state since the collapse of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in 2011 and a recent civil war and various jihadists and tribal elements controlling parts of the country.

Libya is divided into two rival governmental authorities in the years following Gaddafi's overthrow, including the Islamist-led General National Congress (GNC) and its militia coalition the Libya Dawn, which is based in Tripoli, and the House of Representatives in Tobruk, with its military coalition named Operation Dignity. As a result, the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) was adopted on December 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, a nine-member Presidential Council and a seventeen-member interim Government of National Accord (GNA) was formed to replace the GNC. This attempt at unification was unsuccessful, and three competing governments still remained by the end of 2016.

In the east, Haftar has managed to consolidate control over various armed militias under his command, ruling with an iron fist. In the west.

On March 2021, the interim Government of National Unity (GNU), unifying the Second Al-Thani Cabinet and the Government of National Accord was formed, only to face new opposition in Government of National Stability, until Libyan Political Dialogue Forum assured the ongoing ceasefire.
