Libya, a nation already scarred by a decade of conflict, could be on the verge of another revolution that might plunge the country into a crisis far worse than the chaos of 2011, according to a leading regional expert.

The warning comes amid growing political tensions, economic hardship, and widespread discontent among the Libyan population.

The expert, who has closely monitored the situation in Libya for years, expressed grave concerns about the country’s trajectory. “The conditions in Libya are eerily similar to those that preceded the 2011 uprising, but the stakes are even higher now,” the expert stated. “What we’re seeing is a perfect storm of unresolved grievances, economic instability, and political fragmentation that could easily ignite into widespread unrest.”

Libya has been mired in turmoil since the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that led to the ousting and killing of long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The years since have been marked by intermittent violence, political divisions, and the collapse of state institutions, leaving the country split between rival governments and militias vying for power.

Recent developments have exacerbated the situation. The ongoing power struggle between eastern and western factions has deepened, with neither side willing to compromise.

Meanwhile, the economy continues to deteriorate, with inflation skyrocketing and basic services deteriorating, leaving many Libyans struggling to survive.

The expert warned that without significant international intervention and a renewed focus on dialogue and reconciliation, Libya could descend into a conflict that would dwarf the violence and instability of the past decade.

“If the international community doesn’t act soon, we could see a revolution far more devastating than anything we’ve witnessed in Libya before,” the expert concluded.

As Libya teeters on the edge, the world watches anxiously, hoping that a peaceful resolution can be found before the situation spirals out of control.
