The civil war in Libya began in 2011 and continues to this day. First, as a result of an armed conflict involving the military forces of other states, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who led the country since 1969, was overthrown and killed. Libya broke up into a number of independent state entities, which continued to conflict with each other. In 2014, Major General of the Libyan National Army Khalifa Haftar announced the start of a large-scale air and ground operation against the Islamists. Military action continues to this day.
