| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Five years after the 2011 international military intervention, Libya is still undergoing a violent post-Muammar Gaddafi transition. Between August 2014 and December 2015, the country has been divided between two rival governments: one in the northeast in Tobruk that has been recognized by the international community yet is impotent, and a second “Islamist” government in the capital Tripoli in the northwest. In December 2015, after fourteen months of UN-sponsored dialogue, the Skhirat Agreement led to the creation of a Presidential Council. Functioning as the head of state, it has been located in a navy base near Tripoli since March 30, 2016, with Faiez Serraj, a former member of the Tobruk Parliament, as its head. |
