Description

The Second Libyan Civil War is an ongoing conflict among rival factions seeking control of the territory and oil of Libya. The initial conflict was mostly between the House of Representatives (HoR) government, controversially elected in 2014 and also known as the "Tobruk government"; and the rival General National Congress (GNC) government, based in the capital Tripoli and established after Operation Odyssey Dawn and the failed military coup, also called the "National Salvation Government". The HoR (also known as the Council of Deputies), in control of eastern and central Libya, has the loyalty of the Libyan National Army of General Khalifa Haftar, and has been supported by airstrikes by Egypt and the UAE. The GNC, based in western Libya and backed by various militias (mainly Libya Dawn in the west and Libya Shield in the east) with some support from Qatar, Sudan and Turkey, initially accepted the results of the 2014 election, but rejected them after the Supreme Constitutional Court nullified an amendment regarding the roadmap for Libya's transition and HoR elections. Due to controversy about constitutional amendments, the HoR refused to take office from GNC in Tripoli, which was controlled by powerful militias from the western coastal city of Misrata. Instead, the HoR established its parliament in Tobruk, which is controlled by General Haftar's forces.
