Military intervention in Libya?
What should be done to solve Libya's power vacuum? We'll hear from Libyans and others after the Egyptian President called for UN backed intervention in Libya.
What should the world do about Libya? The power vacuum left behind after Colonel Gaddafi’s overthrow has now taken centre stage, in the wake of the killing of 21 Egyptian Christians. The country is now a patchwork of rival militias and at least two competing ‘governments’. And – uppermost in the minds of decision-makers around the world – it’s becoming a new potential base for Islamic State and its allies. Egypt wants international intervention under a UN mandate.
Should the world turn its attention to Libya? Is it time for re-engagement? Today we’ll hear from a wide range of Libyans inside and outside the country, about what they think should happen next.
