A Libyan soldier walks past tanks during the "Dara’ al-Karama 2" military exercises, conducted by the Libyan National Army (LNA), under the command of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, in the Ras al-Alba region in southeastern Libya on May 16, 2026. The military exercises involve extensive participation from various ground, air, and naval units, making them one of the largest exercises the Libyan Army has conducted in recent years, with more than 25,000 military personnel taking part. Libya remains plagued by division and instability after years of unrest following the NATO-backed uprising that toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Libya is still divided between the UN-recognised government in the west and its eastern rival in the east, backed by military commander Khalifa Haftar.
