| Summary / Abstract (Note) | FOR OVER FOUR MONTHS now, Libya has been torn apart by violence and the civil war: the East with the center in Benghazi no longer obeys Qaddafi who still retains his grip on the west (Tripoli, capital of the Jamahiriya, and parts of Misrata, the rest of the city being held by the insurgents). For about 42 years, the colonel has ruled a vast country now split into two approximately equal parts divided by a belt of deserts and semi-deserts. Nearly the entire 6 million-strong population lives in cities aligned along the Mediterranean coast at the very brink of the desert sands. |
