The Libyan Military-Economic Role in the 1973 War

Abstract

       The Arab region has suffered from occupations and the ravages of war since ancient times. The October 1973 War was one of the most significant events in the region, affecting the course of events and changing many concepts and ideas, with its effects extending to other conflict zones in the world. The Middle East has witnessed many conflicts and continues to this day. These wars have left devastating effects on various economic, political and social aspects. Major powers played a direct and major role in these wars, especially the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is one of the oldest and most complex conflicts and included numerous wars, including the 1948 war, the 1956 war, the 1973 war and many other conflicts and uprisings. These wars have caused many disasters such as displacement, high unemployment rates and consequently poverty, loss of livelihoods and a decline in investments. They have also destroyed prominent cultural monuments, including archaeological sites and museums. Fear has spread and its rates have increased among the population, and the continuation of these wars causes local, regional and international unrest.
