After the Arab Spring: Civil War and Failed Efforts of Reconciliation in Libya

Abstract

In this article, I will briefly mention the events that led to the uprisings of the Arab Spring. My major focus will be on the causes that led to the civil war against the regime of Muammar Gadaffi. I will mention all the major factors that contributed towards the civil war i.e the history of the regime, the international influences, the territoriality of the conflict, and the militarization of the two opposing forces. Then I will briefly describe the death event of Muammar Gaddafi. Once the objective of the revolutionists was obtained (the downfall of Gaddafi), the country fell apart. Instead of leading towards the state of democracy, the state was divided into much more opposing forces. Finally, I will discuss some causes that were the contributing causes towards the failure of the efforts of national reconciliation.
