Unprecedented historic event in Tunisia towards the closure of 2010
radically reshaped the political and security environment of Arab
region, precipitating the Arab Revolution of 211. As the consequence,
the ‘Jasmine Revolution’ of Tunisia, ‘January 25 Revolution’ of Egypt
and the ‘February 17 Revolution’ of Libya ended the rule of Ben Ali,
Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi respectively. Libyan people, however,
have not ensured changes they were looking for even today after a half a
decade. The inability to handle the overall conditions of transition
after Gaddafi transferred the state in to long lasting instability which
is still unsolved. Libya failed into worsening social, economic,
security and political situation that is characterized by statelessness,
lawlessness, chaos and civil war. State security has fractured and the
border of the state is open, and has become feasible place to terrorists
and illicit traffickers. Arms and drugs trafficking, human smuggling and
oil Counterfeits and Contraband carried out by local traffickers and
terrorist groups in the region centered in Libya. Mainly, terrorists are
using this new base to recruit, train, and plan attacks. Economic
activities, basically trade and investment, are in danger. The absence
of strong central government caused people pour to neighboring countries
and Europe to escape the endless chaos. This crisis and civil war
triggered grave consequences on both the state or civilians and the
broader regions of North Africa and Sahel. The notion of this paper is
to make an in-depth analysis of security, social, economic and political
consequences of post-2011Libyan crisis on the nation (Libya and
civilians) and the broader region. Cite This Article As: Abebe TJ (2017). LIBYAN CRISIS SINCE 2011: REGIONAL AND NATIONAL IMPACTS. Int. J. Polit. Sci. Develop. 5(3): 92-104
