Tripoli
Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, located on the country’s Mediterranean coast. Historically, it was founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC and has since been ruled by the Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, and Italians, which is reflected in its diverse architecture like the ancient Red Castle (Assaraya al-Hamra).
Ministry of Defense
The Ministry of Defense is the government department responsible for implementing national defense policy and overseeing a country’s armed forces. Historically, such institutions evolved from earlier offices like war departments, becoming central to modern state security and military administration in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Government of National Unity
The Government of National Unity (GNU) is a political arrangement where rival parties, often after a conflict or deadlock, form a coalition cabinet to share power. It is most famously associated with post-apartheid South Africa, where Nelson Mandela led the first GNU from 1994 to 1997 to ensure a peaceful transition to majority rule. Such governments are typically formed to promote stability and inclusivity during critical periods in a nation’s history.
Border and Vital Objectives Guard Command
The Border and Vital Objectives Guard Command is a specialized military unit within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran. It is primarily responsible for securing Iran’s borders and protecting critical infrastructure sites, such as nuclear facilities and oil installations. The unit was established following the Iran-Iraq War to centralize and enhance the security of the country’s strategic assets and frontiers.
111th Brigade
The 111th Brigade is a military formation within the Palestinian Fatah movement’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, established during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s. It has been primarily active in the northern West Bank, notably in the city of Nablus and its surrounding refugee camps.
Libyan Armed Forces
The Libyan Armed Forces are the official military forces of Libya, originally established after the country gained independence in 1951. Following the 2011 revolution and the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s government, the forces fragmented into various competing groups aligned with different governments and factions, leading to a prolonged state of internal conflict.
