Since 2011 Libya has been torn apart by civil war. Today the Libyan Civil War is approaching a dangerous threshold of breaking out into a wider regional war with Turkey, Russia and various European powers taking different sides in the struggle. The breakdown of the Libyan state has already acted as a draw to various extremist groups from ISIS to al-Qaeda. There is also a wider refugee crisis that is operating in the background of the Libyan Civil War.
JB Shreve is joined by Dr. Malachi Nichols and Terrell Spencer in this podcast episode that explains what is happening in the Libyan Civil War.
