****Libya, Five Years After the 2011 Revolution ****

Symposium Description

April 13, 2016 - Virginia Commonwealth University

It has been 5 years since the start of the February 17th, 2011 revolution in Libya that overthrew the

42 year-long brutal dictatorship headed by Muammer Gadhafi. However, the promises of freedom, democracy, and prosperity that Libyans united and fought for have not materialized. Few had predicted Libya’s demise into the failed statehood and chaos that we see today. With the increasing presence of terrorist groups, another international military intervention is looming. The Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Golden Key International Honor Society with the assistance of the Arabic Club; the Institute for Global Leadership at Tufts and the Fares Center at Tufts are sponsoring a symposium to assess the current challenges facing the country. Libyan practitioners and Libya scholars will analyze key dimensions, ranging from human rights; education; health; state-society relations to local governance. Against this backdrop and together with the participants, we will discuss these topics in order to shed light on the way forward in Libya.
