The title does not correspond with the lead sentence. The latter is about the second civil war. The lead sentence itself is concise.

However the content is very brief. A brief description of the content lacks.The article does not deal with the reasons of the conflict. It just mentioned that it started in 2014. The referencing is done in an incorrect manner. One sentence with 116 references. References dealing with all kinds of events related to the civil war. However, nothing of the material is used in the article itself. Moreover most of the references are almost exclusively newspaper articles. It is not clear to what extent these sources are factual, objective, based on first hand information, written by experts on the topic, etc. The information in the boxes might be out of date. Important sources have not been consulted such as : UNSMIL, OHCHR, USDoS, Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, Chatham House.

Most of the links in the article do not work.

Conclusion. Improvements can be made in order to better understand the background and development of the Lybian civil war since 2014.
