Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I te tau 2011, i arahina a Libya e Muammar Gaddafi mai i te tau 1969. I te Hui-tanguru 2011, i waenga i te "Arab Spring", ka pakaru te hurihanga ki a ia, ka horapa atu mai i te taone tuarua o Benghazi (i reira i whakatuhia ai he kawanatanga mo te wa poto i te 27 o Hui-tanguru), ki te taone nui o Tripoli, e whakaoho ana i te Pakanga Tangata o Libya (2011). I te 17 o Poutu-te-rangi, i whakaaetia te Whakataunga 1973 a te Kaunihera Haumaru o te United Nations, e whakamana ana i tetahi rohe kore-rere i runga i a Libya, me "nga tikanga katoa e tika ana" hei tiaki i nga taangata. E rua nga ra i muri mai, ka whakarewahia e Parani, te United States me te United Kingdom te whakaekenga hōia o 2011 ki Libya
I te Operation Odyssey Dawn, i te US me nga ope moana o Ingarangi e pupuhi ana i te 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles, i te French me te British Air Forces e mahi ana i nga mahi puta noa i Libya me te aukati moana e nga ope a te Coalition. He hononga o nga whenua 27 mai i Uropi me te Waenganui rawhiti i uru wawe mai ki te whakauru a NATO, hei Operation Unified Protector. I pakaru te kawanatanga o Gaddafi i Akuhata, ka waiho te National Transitional Council hei kawanatanga pono, me te whakaaetanga a te UN. I hopukina a Gaddafi, i whakamatea i te Oketopa e nga ope o te National Transitional Council, ka mutu te mahi a NATO. I haere tonu te koretake, i te mutunga ka arahi ki te Pakanga o Libya.
