What comes to mind when you think of Libya?

Maybe the late Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, the 2011 revolution, or perhaps the western military intervention that toppled the longtime leader.

But how about a failed state? It is split between two governments, plenty of armed militias, and thousands of foreign fighters. On top of that, the UN is warning that mercenaries and foreign fighters pose a threat to the country.

In this episode:
Sasha Toperich (@SashaToperich), Executive Vice President of Transatlantic Leadership Network (@TLN_DC)
