Hello everyone I was wondering what is the typical libyan look as today someone said i don’t look very middle eastern due to my facial hair being ginger, i told them i was from eastern part libya where a lot of greek influence happened so maybe it had something to do with that, and i was just wondering what does a typical libyan look like ?
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
زعما في رايك الجامعات الليبية كافية اكاديميا ك استفادة و تعليم او لا ؟ و شن ينقصها من مرافق و حاجات عشان تكون فيها استفادة اكبر علميا ؟ و مستوى اعضاء هيئة التدريس و منع الاختلاط و الدراسات العملية و كل الجوانب عموما
Hey everyone, I think most of you here heard even once about the memecoins rising this month with huge impact like trump and Malenia coin, so this is my second month in trading meme coins and ngl I won a lot but at the same time a lost a LOT due to greedy and market falling due to china new Al and trump problems with Canada, Mexico Tarrif. Trading alone is little bit harder without a group of people who makes calls together on the new meme coins and the new bullruns, so l'm willing to make a memecoin trading group on telegram so we could update each other on the markets and the new launches, the requirements is easy you just need to be aware of crypto with some experience and knowing how to use phantom wallet, DEXSCREENER and the other mandatory stuff + it's ok If you not Libyan just be active with us and I hope we make it together DM me if you are interested
Salut, I’m an Egyptian-French girl who has been in a relationship with a Libyan man for a year. We wanted to take the next step and make our relationship official, but I was shocked when he explained the cultural and family obstacles we would face.
He told me that his family is very religiously strict and doesn't accept marriage outside their tribe. However, he believes he can persuade them...if I agree to certain conditions. These include completely changing my lifestyle (both in France and Egypt), wearing the niqab (or hijab,I’m not sure exactly), convincing my family, leaving my studies, and accepting a life with a lower level of comfort than I’m used to.
I respect cultural differences, but these conditions feel extreme to me, and I don’t fully understand the cultural or religious reasoning behind them.
My questions are , is this level of strictness common in certain families or tribes? Is there room for compromise in such situations? Or any additional clarifications please.
how are you proud of a place created by imperialistic forces (britain and france)?? if we go back a couple of hundred years back, there was no libya, tunisia, algeria but imperialism came and divided us and made these borders that we’re now proud of? I don’t get it

I forget if I asked before but just curious. For a good sized country, Libya has a small population of 8 million. Does anyone have any thoughts why or the reason? Morocco I think has 38-40 million people in it, Algeria 47-48 million in it, Tunisia 12-14 million in it, Egypt even more in it with like 111-112 million in it. So these are just like the populations of these countries in it, excluding the diaspora abroad. So Libya’s population is the smallest in North Africa. Even countries like Yemen with the devastating humanitarian catastrophic intervention by Saudi along with the UAE, the devastating ongoing civil war in Sudan, Syria even with the civil war along with the recent events, Somali with its troubled history have more people than Libya. So all these countries have more people than the number of people in Libya, even Saudi too. Anyone have any thoughts why? I’m just curious. Do most of the 8 million people live in cities, along the Mediterranean coast? Not so much in the South, desert areas? Would 4 million people out of the 8 million population just by itself live in Tripoli, metro slash surrounding areas of Tripoli, other cities? Again just curious about the question, topic. No harm intended, intent.

What is your guys is favorite musician from Libya? Yall can name a certain song if yall can I jus wanna find more musicians
So yeah today I was having this convo in uni with a diverse group of friends, it was just a general convo then it went into our favorite national dishes and eventually our countries. I rep my shi so I said Libya, and this eriterian guy in my group said some crazy shi about our nation so I said some crazy shi back about his country and then he brought modern slavery in Libya and I mentioned that it's 10x worse in eriteria but he refused to believe me.
So i showed him the stats and he was still coping and denying it. So this brings me my question why do mf's think modern slavery just ended when Abraham Lincoln said so and that it only exists in Libya. It's not like it's a secret either, there very public social media posts from "farms" in Senegal or "mines" in Congo.
Like I showed him a vid of a brothel filled with human trafficking in Eriteria. This shi is not hard to find, why does it seem only we get targeted.
I personally think anyone who participates in modern slavery should be flogged to d++th.

Pretty neat
What are your thoughts about the Muslim ban, do you’ll think Libya will be on that list again? And how safe is it to visit if Libya won’t be on the ban? As for international students with a valid I-20 and all other documentations!
is there a significant difference in the standard of living / quality of public services / number of job listings and their relative quality and type ?
First thing first, yes ik it's haram they go like that and such etc
But idk if you saw that post from that food influencer مطاعم طرابلس, he made a video calling the police to stop this Algerian guy because a girl is showing him the city and such
Ngl for me it sounded like it's the end of Libya, and the engagement it got in matter of few hours it's insane to me tbh, i didn't even know about this guy only from this post
Now, i don't really care about the post, but the comments are so hypocritical and sick minded, everyone trying to make the girl not libyan (i don't know if she's and i don't care), and saying bad stuff about her and her family (things a Muslim shouldn't say), some said she needs to be killed and he got likes from some others, and ofc قذف محصنات since it's the easiest part
Whatcha think?
I am Japanese who happens to be a Muslim. I have lived and worked in most North African countries over the last six years.
I have noticed that, on paper, Libya seems to be the richest country in the region, with a small population, a vast landmass, and, most importantly, a homogeneous social fabric. However, the reality is far from these numbers and theoretical facts. During my two years in Libya, I traveled across the country and interacted with many Libyans, and I found the situation to be quite hopeless.
I firmly believe that the problem in Libya lies in the human capital itself, rather than external factors. Poorer and more densely populated countries in the region are doing significantly better than Libya, despite all the privileges it has.
With that being said, I am genuinely curious to understand this phenomenon. Does anyone here have a good explanation for it?
Reddit has become a US politics propaganda machine, and I’m sick of it. It used to have good-quality content and where people interacted with each other, but now it’s ruined.
The Gaza conflict proved this with the excessive censorship here, and with Trump and all that shit happening over there, it became unbearable.
I read from a wide variety of news outlets that are both Dbeibah and Haftar oriented. And there seems to be a cold war style construction race to outdo each others legitimacy. This is ultimately good for the Libyan people since we get infrastructure that actually is decent (hopefully they leave the country in a decent state before Oil becomes less relevant and crashes Libyas oil dependant GDP).
I’ll elaborate more in the comments section below 👇🏼

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a petroleum engineer that has a good understanding of his field and plenty of knowledge and also up to date with drilling technology. This is not a job offer or anything. I just need to meet someone that can give me a quick crash course explaining the whole process to me. I’m entering a work field in which I know nothing about and need to be briefed in. I’ll pay for coffee and dinner 3adi. Spread knowledge, It’s a good deed. I tried searching online for hours but there are still things that are not well explained online.
I’ll greatly appreciate it.
