The Misurata Free Zone facilitates Libya’s economic expansion
This Growth & Recovery Outlook video highlights Libya’s Misurata Free Zone (MFZ), which is at the heart of the country’s economic expansion. Not only does the free zone connect Libya to landlocked countries like Chad and Niger, but it also handles much of the country’s incoming vessels and container traffic. As its importance to trade in Libya continues to grow, implementing the proper policies and oversight mechanisms at the MFZ will become increasingly important to the country's economic success.

Battle scars rebel-held Misurata
From Grad rockets to heavy machine guns, troops loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi unleashed a maassive assault on Misurata, the country's third-largest city and the most significant rebel holdout in the west.
Inside a ripped-apart vegetable market, Gaddafi's tanks sit destroyed, not by NATO warplanes, which had difficulty striking targets in the urban environment, but by dedicated rebels.
