Fifteen years after the revolution that deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, our team reports from the eastern city of Benghazi. Although the security situation there is now relatively stable, reunification does not seem to be on the immediate agenda, with Libya still ruled by two different governments.
As Libya marks the 15th anniversary of the revolution that deposed Muammar Gaddafi’s dictatorship and led to civil war, the country remains divided. The west is managed by the Government of National Unity, recognised by the international community. In the east and much of the south, the Libyan National Army led by Marshal Khalifa Haftar governs.
The two Libyas are often difficult for journalists to access, and constant surveillance prevails. Libyans are still waiting for political reconstruction, more than a decade after the fall of Gaddafi’s four-decade-long rule.
Our regional correspondents Lilia Blaise and Hamdi Tlili report from Benghazi, in eastern Libya.
