Abstract
Libya, a country born from a decolonization process in 1953, has always exhibited a high degree of internal lack of cohesion, both from the three regions that make it up and due to the preponderance of the tribal component in its society. Its wealth in hydrocarbons and its geographical and geopolitical position make it an object of desire in a global world in full reconfiguration and struggle between the new powers. The fall of Gaddafi in 2011 generated a period of civil war and instability, in principle with a civil war character, but due to the indirect and increasingly direct intervention of new powers, there is a risk that the Libyan conflict, as a fuse, activate an international war in the Mediterranean.
