For more than a decade, Libya has been hanging between chaos and uncertainty, without any prospects for peace and stability. Instead, it pushed the region into a new vicious cycle of chaos and uncertainty, killing thousands and forcing many more to take refuge abroad. In the aftermath of Gaddafi’s killing, NTC declared Libya as a ‘liberated’ country and announced its plans to hold elections within eight months. The ‘Libyan Spring’ turned into a never-ending winter, governed by chaos, unrest, and a geographical, political, and ideological split between East and West. The US Special Envoy previously noted that holding elections is the best way out of the current political stalemate in Libya.
