Libya Table of Contents Well into the postindependence period, tradition and traditional values dominated social life. Established religious and tribal practices found expression in the policies and personal style of King Idris and his regime. The discovery of oil, however, released social forces that the traditional forms could not contain. In terms of both expectation and way of life, the old order was permanently disturbed. The various pressures of the colonial period, independence, and the development of the oil industry did much to alter the bases of urban society and to dissolve the tribal and village social structure.

In particular, as the cash economy spread into the countryside, rural people were lured out of their traditional groups and into the modern sector. Evolutionary Changes in a Traditional Society To a great extent, the cities have been crucibles of social change in modern Libya. Occupations had different levels of acceptability.

Libya travel guide. Libya (Arabic: ‏ليبيا‎ Lībyā), is a country in North Africa. In the north it has a Mediterranean Sea coast, with Egypt to the east and Tunisia to the west. It also has land borders with Algeria, Chad, Niger and Sudan. More than 90% of the country is desert or semidesert. Understand[edit] History[edit] Ancient history[edit] Archaeological evidence indicates that from as early as 8,000 BC, the coastal plain of Ancient Libya was inhabited by a Neolithic people, the Berbers, who were skilled in the domestication of cattle and the cultivation of crops. Italian colonial era[edit] From 1912-1927, the territory of Libya was known as Italian North Africa. In 1934, Italy adopted the name "Libya" (used by the Greeks for all of North Africa, except Egypt) as the official name of the colony (made up of the three provinces of Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and Fezzan). Libya under Muammar al-Gaddafi (1969-2011)[edit] On 23 October the liberation of Libya was pronounced by the National Transition Council.

In the 1970s, he laid out his political philosophy in a publication he called The Green Book. The Libyan leader argued that he had solved the problem of democracy, and initiated the establishment of the so-called “jamahiriyya” – a state managed through local councils by the citizens themselves. However, Libya remained under the dictatorial leadership of Gaddafi. Libya was isolated from the international community in the 1980s and 1990s, partly because of its involvement in the Lockerbie bombing in 1988.

As a result of increasing foreign pressure, Libya accepted to pay compensation to relatives of the dead, leading to the lifting of UN and US sanctions. However, as popular protests and intense fighting between oppositional groups and regime forces broke out in 2011, the West once again turned against Gaddafi. Libya News. ILibya Coming soon!
