Libya
a country located in the Maghreb region of northern Africa. Bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Libya lies between Egypt to the east, Sudan to the south east, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west.

Libya gained independence as the Kingdom of Libya in 1951.
Libya has been ruled from 1969 to the present by Muammar al-Gaddafi, who rose to power in a military coup.

In February 2011 mass protests and demonstrations broke out across Libya against Gaddafi's government. The Libyan opposition is reported to be in control of several towns and cities in eastern and central coastal Libya.
As of 23 February 2011, it is reported that the Gaddafi government now only controls a few parts of Tripoli and the southern desert town of Sabha.
