Although Libya is a rather dangereous country at the moment, we still decided to leave for Libya in week 7.
Libya is a country in the north of Africa, next to Egypt and Sudan for example.
Muanmar Gadaffi reigned from 1969 until 2011, when he was killed after the movements in Tunisia and Egypt. This was hot news for a long time. During this period, it was nearly impossible to enter the country. Foreigners were evacuated to neirby countries or even back to Europe.
23 October 2011: the liberation of Libya, remembering and honoring the 30.000 deaths caused by the civil war. Now the National Transitional Council (anti-Gadaffi) represents the political body of this country since March 5.
