Residents of the Libyan city of Ghadames declared civil disobedience, demanding the withdrawal of armed formations affiliated with the National Unity Government.

Residents of Ghadames announced a sit-in, strike, suspension of education, and cessation of all state institutional activities in response to the armed groups affiliated with the GNU Ministry of Interior, demanding their expulsion from the city.

Ghadames has experienced heightened security tensions over the past two days. This is following the arrival of forces from the Interior Ministry, purportedly to secure the border crossing with Algeria.

Libya has faced significant political and social instability since the 2011 revolution and the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. The nation struggles with internal conflicts between rival governments and militias, impacting its economic stability and humanitarian conditions. International efforts focus on restoring peace and building a unified government.

Despite holding Africa’s largest proven oil reserves, Libya struggles with economic challenges, hindered by the ongoing conflict. This has led to deteriorating living conditions, with issues in healthcare, education, and basic services. Security concerns remain high due to the presence of armed groups and the threat of terrorism.

The road to a stable, unified Libya requires overcoming deep-seated political divisions, rebuilding state institutions, and addressing economic and security challenges. The international community’s role in supporting a peaceful resolution and reconstruction is crucial. However, the situation remains fluid and subject to change.
