2011 Libyan uprising

The 2011 Libyan uprising, sometimes called Gaddafi's War. Began as a series of protests and confrontations occurring in th


2/10

North African state of Libya against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule. The protests began on 15 February 2011 and have

since become a widespread upris ing that continues to the present. Inspiration for the unrest is attributed to the uprisings in

Tunisia and Egypt, connecting it with the wider 201011 Middle East and North Africa protests. On 22 February, The Economi

described the events as an "uprising that is trying to reclaim Libya from the world's longest-ruling autocrat." - Excerpt from

Wikipedia entry, taken 3 March 2011

Since the night of February 16, 2011 (#Feb17) Libyans have been protesting one of the worlds most intractable government

that of Muammar Al Gaddafi. Colonel Gadaffi came to power in a 1969 coup detat and attempted to spread his brand of

revolution, the Third Universal Theory, throughout the Middle East and Africa. While his star rose and fell on the international

stage, the 6.4 million people of Libya suffered from a dearth of civil society institutions, lack of human rights, endemic

corruption and a repressive police force. Will Libya become the next North African government to fall? In January, Gaddafi

mourned the loss of Tunisias Z ine El Abidine Ben Ali and later criticized Egyptians who were protesting long-serving

president Honsi Mubarek. He then threatened he would react even harsher to his own domestic critics. This is a promise he

appears to be keeping. - Excerpt from Global Voices Special Page on Libya

UN Common Operations Dataset (COD)

The IASC Guidelines on Common Operational Datasets (CODs) in Disaster Preparedness and Response has been

developed to help national authorities and humanitarian organizations exchange data thereby improving the

effectiveness of humanitarian response. These guidelines outline the common datasets needed for response in

humanitarian emergencies, as well as the governance model for the management of the data (i.e. accountabilities and

responsibilities).

The CODs are subject to change as new data becomes available. If you would like to suggest any changes to the CODor if you have any questions regarding their use, please contact Mr. CJ Hendrix, OCHA Information Services Section, te
