WARNING: Libya is currently a war zone following an extended period of civil war and conflict. Travel within the nation's borders including to Benghazi remains extremely dangerous and therefore strongly discouraged for independent travellers. Parts of Libya may continue to suffer from aerial attacks, artillery and rocket bombardment, armed engagements between combative ground forces, disaffected individuals, foreign military elements and militias. These activities are likely to be sustained and to involve the use of deadly force. Normal civil services are not available and the nation's infrastructure has suffered very serious damage from a sustained aerial bombing campaign and the use of heavy armaments by combative ground forces. Please see the main article on Libya for further information. |
