Libya Today

Libya is a country that at present appears as a blank area on the medial map. Hardly any news make it over to our side, the actual development of the country remains largely unknown to Europe today, over five years after the Arab Spring began. The first Libyan ambassador to Germany after Ghaddafi’s removal from office Dr Ali Masednah El-Kothany talked in this Ibn Rushd Lecture on February 5, 2017.

Libya – the Country, its People and the Current Situation

In his lecture El-Kothany offers an insight into a Libya in 2017 and sheds light on the country, its people and their culture, supporting his talk by a visual presentation. Additionally, he will report first-hand on the state of the society and politics.

The lecture was held in Geman language.
