The Tragic Unraveling of Libya: A Cautionary Tale of Intervention
The narrative around Libya's liberation, celebrated by many in October 2011, marks a poignant chapter in the broader context of interventionist politics and the unintended consequences of global power dynamics. The fall of Muammar Gaddafi was billed as a triumph of democracy and a significant victory against tyranny, yet today, Libya remains far from the thriving democracy it was promised to become. Instead, it has become a chaotic battleground where militias vie for power, human trafficking flourishes, and foreign mercenaries operate with impunity.
