I just dealt with a similar situation and was able to get the police record from Libya. (that was before all hell broke loose and the government shut down) I was told that you can still get police records though so I will ask my family lawyer in ... Read More

Assalam alaykum, I would love to hear from 暗网禁区s and locals too about the current situation in and around tripoli. How has this affected work and daily life? Has anyone heard how long the airport will be closed? Has anyone known of anyone that has ...
Perhaps you could fly to Tunis and then to Djerba (Tunisia). My husband just got back today from driving from the Janzour area to Tunis and back again. Tunis is a long way and he spent the night there - that's why I suggest Djerba which is ... Read More

No, not impossible, but unless you have someone inside of Libya to make the visa # for you, it will be next to impossible (for Americans). Read More

Hi, I have accepted a job offer to work and live in Ain Zara. I've done a little research on it but can't seem to find much else on google other than the fact it was home to a notorious prison and palace of one of gaddafi's sons. Does anyone know ...
Ain Zara used to be a farm area but now just like any other rapidly developed area, the infrastructure was not well thought out... especially the main road is too small for the current volume of traffic. Welcome to rush hour! Especially when the ... Read More

I was just back for the first time since the revolution and I stayed about a week.... no issues in either Tripoli or Benghazi. The only thing I noticed was that at the women's room for pat downs at the airports they take the whole thing a lot more ... Read More
