The 2011 Libyan civil war (Arabic: الحرب الأهلية في ليبيا عام 2011, Al-Harb Al-Ahliyyah fi Libiyya `Am 2011) is an ongoing armed conflict in the North African state of Libya being fought between forces loyal to the country's ruler Muammar Gaddafi and those seeking to depose him and hold democratic elections. The situation began as a series of peaceful protests which Gaddafi's security services attempted to repress, beginning on 15 February 2011. Within a week, this uprising had spread across the country and Gaddafi was struggling to retain control. Gaddafi responded with military force and other such measures as censorship and blocking of communications.
