    Libya, with Africa's largest proven crude oil reserves, has been wracked by conflict for nearly a decade, since the overthrow and killing of dictator Muammar Gaddafi in a NATO-backed uprising in 2011. Image Credit: AFP

    It has since been dominated by armed groups and divided between two Íþ¿Íµç¾ºistrations that have long been bitterly-opposed: the GNA in Tripoli and a rival Íþ¿Íµç¾ºistration in the east backed by Haftar. But the warring factions signed a "permanent ceasefire" last month after UN-sponsored talks in Geneva. Image Credit: AFP
