Americans who may be planning a trip to Libya are being urged to reconsider those plans, as the U.S. State Department has issued its strongest possible travel warning.
The department recently updated Libya’s Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory, warning Americans not to visit the country for any reason due to crime, terrorism, health concerns, unrest, kidnapping and landmines. The overall advisory level did not change.
“Do not travel to Libya for any reason,” the advisory states.
The State Department warns that clashes between armed groups and government-aligned forces can break out at any time — while weapons are widespread throughout the country.
“Prepare a will and end-of-life instructions,” the advisory states. Travelers are also advised to designate insurance beneficiaries or draft a power of attorney.
Criminal organizations are known to be involved in drug and human trafficking and other smuggling activity, while targeted kidnappings and assassinations are common, according to the advisory.
“Kidnapping is widespread, and victims have included U.S. citizens,” officials warn.
...
Travelers are advised to avoid roadside ditches, shoulders and unmarked trails and never touch anything that could be unexploded munitions.
For Americans who decide to travel to Libya despite the warning, the State Department recommends having a plan to leave in an emergency that does not depend on U.S. government assistance.

Who “tours” Libya?!
“crime, terrorism, health concerns, unrest, kidnapping and landmines”
…no lions and tigers and bears? Oh my.
“Islam demands a strong man. Muslims are generally low IQ tribal inbred savages. Islam preys on the basest lizard brain aspect of humanity. It takes a vicious violent strongman to keep them under control. Getting rid of Muslim dictators is a mistake. The rest of the world just needs to keep them contained to their own s holes.”
Well said - dittoes.
Why would anyone travel there? I never heard of that being a tourist destination.
Libya WILL be part of Ezekiel 38
Very specifically named as “Put” or “Phut”
I’m not surprised that it’s getting worse
An additional comment though:
AI Overview:
Yes, Simon of Cyrene (often called Simon the Cyrenian) was from Cyrene, an ancient city located in the region of Cyrenaica, which is present-day Libya in North Africa.
It’s across the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke).
From Luke:
Luke 23:26
21st Century King James Version
26 And as they led Him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the Cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
