Jihadists flock to Libya's remote south to train

Libya's remote desert south has become a haven for north African jihadists who have set up training camps in what has traditionally been a hotbed of arms smuggling, experts say. Oil-rich Libya slid into chaos after veteran dictator Moamer Kadhafi was toppled and killed in a NATO-backed uprising three years ago. Weapons looted from his arsenal have made their way to the so-called "Salvador Triangle", a no-man's land formed by the porous borders of Libya, Algeria and Niger, experts say. On October 10, France said its forces had destroyed a convoy belonging to Al-Qaeda's north African branch in Niger that was carrying arms from Libya to Mali. Source: AFP

Three years after Libya revolt, 'Dubai dream' still far off

When longtime dictator Moamer Kadhafi's regime collapsed in a 2011 revolution, many Libyans looked to affluent and booming Dubai as an example of what the future could hold. On October 23, 2011, three days after Kadhafi was captured and killed, transitional authorities announced the "total liberation" of Libya, in a joyous declaration from the eastern city of Benghazi, birthplace of the eight-month conflict. In a country with two governments -- one internationally recognised and the other self-declared -- the anniversary comes at a time of deadly clashes between pro- and anti-government militias in Benghazi and west Libya. "When the country's 'liberation' was announced, our ambition was to become a new Dubai thanks to oil revenues," said Mohamed al-Karghali, a 39-year-old teacher who fought in the revolt. Source: AFP
