Libya: State of Insecurity

Fault Lines returns to Libya and investigates what NATO's so-called humanitarian intervention has achieved in the two-and-a-half years after Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown.

More than two years after Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown, chaos reigns in Libya. The U.S. has so little trust in the Libyan government that it recently launched a Delta Force raid to apprehend Abu Anas al Libi, an accused al Qaeda operative who was living openly in Tripoli.

Fault Lines travels back to Libya to looking deeper into the circumstances surrounding the Delta Force raid and to examine the U.S. operation may have undermined the Libyan government, which is already struggling to gain control and authority over its country.  We also examine human rights abuses committed by the very militias supported by NATO’s intervention.  In post-revolutionary Libya, Fault Lines finds a nation unraveling.
