'We've run out of earthly solutions': Inside Libya's electricity crisis

Libya is experiencing a severe electricity crisis, with widespread and frequent power outages affecting businesses and households across the country. Despite being rich in oil and gas resources, the nation struggles with unreliable power supply, leading to economic disruption and public frustration. Businesses like restaurants and water bottling plants have been significantly impacted, with some forced to close due to lack of electricity. The crisis has sparked protests in cities like Tripoli and Zawiya, where demonstrators demand improved infrastructure and call for the resignation of Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah. Analysts attribute the problem to long-standing instability since the 2011 revolution that ousted Muammar Gaddafi, which has hindered the development of a sustainable energy strategy.
