Libya teetering on the brink of failure..

15 Feb 14 - 08:50


Libya teetering on the brink of failure..............Tripoli - Can Libya be a nation whose citizens enjoy freedom and security? The quandary made itself all too clear when we tried to hold a news conference in a hotel in Tripoli in late January.
