Libya's new parliament has fled to the eastern city of Tobruk after militias attacked the capital, Tripoli this summer. The country now has two rival governments, and many believe it's rapidly turning into a failed state.
Three years after Western military intervention helped topple Col Muammar Gaddafi, many believe Libya is rapidly turning into a failed state. There are two rival governments, and the parliament elected in June has been forced to flee from hostile militias - to a grey concrete 1970s hotel near the Egyptian border.
They've been chosen to rule a vast country that holds Africa's biggest oil reserves.
They represent the democratic future of a land the world helped free from tyranny.
But three years after the fall of Gaddafi, Libya's new members of parliament can't get on with the job. They're trapped in a grey, concrete hotel in a remote port 1,000km (620 miles) from the capital, Tripoli - fighting a lonely battle, they believe, against the forces of militant Islamism.Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good."
