- Summary:
- "Since the Libyan revolution and fall of Muammar Gadhafi in 2011, violent extremist organizations (VEOs) have taken advantage of the subsequent lack of security to secure a foothold in the country. The south, however, has proved resilient to VEO recruitment. This report examines the two dominant southern tribes to identify both their vulnerabilities and their resilience to provide cultural context and guidance for those combating violent extremism in North Africa and hoping to foster resilience in local communities there"--Publisher's web site.
