Libya.. A Broken State
It's been three years since the Libyan revolution and the fall of Qaddafi. Libya since then has become a state of anarchy. With militant groups being the ultimate rule rather than policy and government. There has become a Muslim uprising of jihadists groups. All these groups are seeking control of the Libyan lands to control the oil and the money that comes with the oil. The land and the people are distraught with terror and clashes from the Qaddafi militias and the jihadists and the people's militias.
