Libya ranked among the highest risk countries at 21st place

Libya has been ranked among the world’s highest-risk countries by security risk analysis platform GeoBit AI, receiving a composite threat score of 80 and placing it 21st globally in its latest assessment, as reported by the Libya Gazette on July 13th.

According to the report, recent diplomatic initiatives that include political talks held in Misrata and Malta, as well as discussions focused on security cooperation between Libya and the United States, reflect the country’s continued efforts towards reducing tensions. However, ongoing violence and criminal activity continue to harm Libya’s security environment making the field unpredictable. GeoBit AI noted a series of government investigations and the downgrading of relations with several embassies on both July 10th and 11th. Additionally multiple incidents involving official objections, arrests and detentions were recorded by the program from July 9th to 11th, showing rising international tensions.

Tripoli was highlighted to be Libya’s highest risk location, with a threat score of 86. The report said security threats are not confined to the capital but also extend to border regions, supply routes and areas containing strategic oil and other critical infrastructure.
