The security situation in Libya reflects the chaotic political situation, where three governments claim legitimacy, and where hundreds of armed groups control different parts of the country. None of the three governments have actual control over the armed groups, resulting in “rule of the gun”. The conflict level is fluctuating, both in the capital Tripoli and surrounding provinces, where a mosaic of militias are in control on a local level. The violence is mainly between militias. However, militia involvement in kidnappings, smuggling, human trafficking, political violence and other criminal activities, combined with a non-functioning police force and justice system, result in widespread feeling of insecurity and volatility among civilians.
