October 11, 2024: Libya has been chaotic since dictator Muammar Gaddafi was ousted from office and killed in 2011. Eastern Libya is controlled by the LNA (Libyan National Army) while western Libya is run by the Government of National Accord (GNA). By the end of 2019, Turkey was on the brink of deploying combat troops and warships to Libya as part of an effort to prevent the LNA from reuniting Libya. Although Libya holds significant oil reserves, the volatility in production has hampered consistent revenue generation. The current military and economic situations in Libya are chaotic.
