Since Gaddafi was executed in 2011, have you felt that Libya has been caught in an endless civil war until now? A travel blogger met a Libyan tourist and asked in detail about the current situation of Libya in 2025! According to the tourist's statement, the war and danger in Libya are all media distortions, and the country is now very safe. How do Libyans view Gaddafi? The answer was that Gaddafi was a good man, but the Western countries hated Gaddafi, so the Westerners killed Gaddafi.
The current situation of Libya is divided into two governments, each controlling half of the country, with the east being one government and the west being another. Both governments can apply for different visas, but they are all Libyan visas. How to describe the relationship between the two governments? It's like a relationship where both sides don't get along, but after fighting for a long time, they have to compromise and coexist.
It is somewhat similar to the picture of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in ancient China, where the Yangtze River was used as a boundary, with one being the Northern Dynasty and the other the Southern Dynasty. However, this was only a brief moment in history. In modern times, Bai Chongxi also prepared to divide the country along the Yangtze River, but Bai Chongxi overestimated himself!
After years of fighting, Libya has become annoying. The international community has already forgotten about Libya. Such a country is divided into two governments, neither of which can eliminate the other, so they just barely coexist. As for whether they will form a coalition government in the future or one side suddenly becomes powerful enough to destroy the other, it's not impossible. However, such a civil war in Libya is not worth paying attention to. It's just a situation where they fight each other, all wanting to be the king of the hill.
In fact, this is what the Western countries want. They would rather see Libya in chaos than see it causing trouble in the international community. You know, back then, Gaddafi accomplished a great feat by offending all five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. That was truly fearless of heaven and earth.
Anyway, Gaddafi-like Libya indeed had a good life back then. Gaddafi even wanted to establish an African Union and issue a unified currency for Africa. It seemed like he was trying to challenge the hegemony of Western countries, so eventually, Gaddafi was jointly eliminated by the Western countries. You know, Gaddafi's personal strength was quite strong. However, the national strength of Libya was weak. If one's personal ability is too strong while the national strength is too weak, one is sure to suffer losses.
Now, Libya is no longer a threat. Internally, it's a mess, and no one pays attention to Libya's survival. It's fine to just leave it there, which is the Libya that the Western countries need. As for whether Libya will continue to fight or not, no one cares.
