MAP > Internet Providers in Libya

Libya’s civil war has gone on to cripple country’s economy as well as disrupting the telecommunication sector. Much of telecom infrastructure has gone on to be destroyed or even stolen, and this includes about 25% of this country’s mobile tower sites. The reconstruction efforts have continued to get stymied by the political as well as military disturbances that affect much of this nation, while with 2 opposing administrations, in Tripoli as well as Tobruk, there has been no consensus as to rebuild the infrastructure on the national scale, and this is despite the attempts to be able to reach the political solutions.
Due to the difficulties as well as the heightened national security issues, the telecom services have been disrupted, and in particular in the eastern region of this country. In the year 2017, on June, the landline, as well as mobile services, got restored in Sirte, and this is after having gotten disconnected by the Islamic State, which is a group that was ejected from the city after two year occupation. Being a security measure, major mobile network provider by the name Libyana, in the year 2017 in July, went ahead and disconnected the SIM cards owned by the foreigners.
