ENTREPRENEURSHIP in CONFLICT ZONES Doctorate of Business ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN CONFLICT ZONES (LIBYA AS A CASE STUDY) BY BADREDDIN A ABDUGADER AKREIM Doctorate of Business Administration 2020 DISSERTATION Submitted to the International University of Leadership in Partial Fulfillment, of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctorate of Business Administration December, 2020 1 Copyright © 2020 Abstract This study emphases on the Entrepreneurship opportunities in Libya and discusses in depth its related features. The research explores the concept of entrepreneurship, its evolution, forms and theories. A special case of entrepreneurship has been carefully taken where the entrepreneurship opportunities in conflict zones have been studied and the case of Libya has been chosen. Where, an investigation has been made for a potential entrepreneurship opportunity for anyone who is interested in taking any opportunity available in Libya whether Libyan citizen or a foreigner. The research helps in drawing conclusion whether the opportunities available in Libya are indeed affordable for a potential entrepreneur or not? For this purpose, a special questionnaire has been established to collect the data from a sample population of 319 potential entrepreneurs who have already started business in Libya or willing to start in near future. Results of the study provides significant output and highlight that doing business in Libya requires lots of experience as well as some motivation behind given the concentration of security risk. Data shows that on average each potential candidate who wants to do business in Libya has on average five family members to take care of. This highlights the drastic situation in Libya which may signifies the high unemployment levels in Libya and a person may be willing to start his/her own business to support the family rather than waiting to find an employment opportunity. Further, the comparison of two eras i.e. Era of Gaddaffi and time period after the Gaddaffi tenure, presents a harsh reality where according to the sample population, the opportunities in earlier time with regards to FDI, Infrastructure, Legal Assistance, Employment opportunities, and business environment were rated horrible to Unsatisfactory even during the Gaddaffi era which in history is considered as the golden time period for Libya with regards to development. Understandably, the situation becomes more severe when comparison is made to the era after Gaddaffi era where all the previous variables turned more severe compared to the earlier time. Findings from the environmental factors also provide highly negative results giving an overall impression that entrepreneurship is not possible in general in conflict zones especially Libya unless some structural changes are made. 2 Copyright © 2020 Dissertation Committee This dissertation has been examined and approved in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Business Administration by: Badreddin Akreim Dissertation Director, Faculty Name, Title (includes discipline) Faculty Name, Title (includes discipline) _______________________________ Faculty Name, Title (include discipline) _______________________________ Faculty Name, Title (includes discipline) _______________________________ Faculty Name, Title (includes discipline) _______________________________ On [Date of Defense] 3 Copyright © 2020 Acknowledgements and Dedication First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Jalal Mouti whose expertise was invaluable in formulating the research questions and methodology, his insightful feedback pushed me to sharpen my thinking and brought my work to a higher level, also he was my teacher and supervisor during the MBA, in 2015 and 2016.

Following are the main points covered in the report: The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Taliban in Afghanistan) officially announces the death of Mullah Omar, the leader of the Emirate, from an illness. Following his death, many jihadist leaders and organization eulogize him. In addition, the Emirate announces the appointment of his deputy, Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor, as the new leader of the Emirate. Islamic State fighters from Turkestan call on Muslim residents of Turkestan to emigrate from their homeland and join the Islamic Caliphate under the leadership of Sheikh Abu Bakr al- Baghdadi. The organization also calls on Turkestani Al-Nusra Front fighters in Syria to defect and join the Islamic State. Sheikh Abu ‘Ubatdha Ahmad ‘Umar, the leader of Al-Shabab Al-Mujahideen, releases his first message since being appointed to the role, regarding his organization’s resolve in the fight against the Crusader conspiracy to weaken Islam and to steal the natural treasures of Muslim lands. In light of this, he calls on tribes in Somalia to help wage jihad against the enemies of Islam and he calls on Muslims in Kenya to join jihad as well. According to him, his organization is ready and willing to absorb into its ranks Muslims from East Africa, including Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda and Central Africa, due to their persecution at the hands of the local regimes.

  • ISIS in Libya: a Major Regional and International Threat
    המרכז למורשת המודיעין (מל"מ) מרכז המידע למודיעין ולטרור January 2016 ISIS in Libya: a Major Regional and International Threat ISIS operatives enter the coastal city of Sirte in north-central Libya on February 18, 2015, in a show of strength accompanied by dozens of vehicles (Twitter.com, Nasher.me). Since then ISIS has established itself in Sirte and the surrounding areas, turning the entire region into its Libyan stronghold and a springboard for spreading into other regions. Overview 1. In 2015 ISIS established two strongholds beyond the borders of its power base in Iraq and Syria: the first in the Sinai Peninsula, where it wages determined fighting against the Egyptian security forces. The second is situated in the north- central Libyan city of Sirte and its surroundings, where it has established territorial control and from where it seeks to take over the entire country. It intends to turn Libya into a springboard for terrorism and the subversion of the rest of North Africa, the sub-Saharan countries, and southern Europe. The firm territorial base ISIS constructed in Libya is the only one outside IraQ and Syria, and is potentially a greater regional and international threat. 2. ISIS could establish itself in Libya because of the chaos prevalent after the execution of Muammar Qaddafi. As in Iraq and Syria, the governmental-security vacuum created by the collapse of the central government was filled by nationalist and Islamist organizations, local and regional tribal militias and jihadist organizations. The branch of ISIS in Libya exploited the lack of a functioning government and 209-15 2 the absence of international intervention to establish itself in the region around Sirte and from there to aspire to spread throughout Libya.

    BORN IN THE MEDITERRANEAN: Alicia Vicente,3 Ma Angeles´ Alonso,3 and COMPREHENSIVE TAXONOMIC Manuel B. Crespo3* REVISION OF BISCUTELLA SER. BISCUTELLA (BRASSICACEAE) BASED ON MORPHOLOGICAL AND PHYLOGENETIC DATA1,2 ABSTRACT Biscutella L. ser. Biscutella (5 Biscutella ser. Lyratae Malin.) comprises mostly annual or short-lived perennial plants occurring in the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East, which exhibit some diagnostic floral features. Taxa in the series have considerable morphological plasticity, which is not well correlated with clear geographic or ecologic patterns. Traditional taxonomic accounts have focused on a number of vegetative and floral characters that have proved to be highly variable, a fact that contributed to taxonomic inflation mostly in northern Africa. A detailed study and re-evaluation of morphological characters, together with recent phylogenetic data based on concatenation of two plastid and one nuclear region sequence data, yielded the basis for a taxonomic reappraisal of the series. In this respect, a new comprehensive integrative taxonomic arrangement for Biscutella ser. Biscutella is presented in which 10 taxa are accepted, namely seven species and three additional varieties. The name B. eriocarpa DC. is reinterpreted and suggested to include the highest morphological variation found in northern Morocco. Its treatment here accepts two varieties, one of which is described as new (B. eriocarpa var. riphaea A. Vicente, M. A.´ Alonso & M. B. Crespo). In addition, the circumscriptions of several species, such as B. boetica Boiss. & Reut., B. didyma L., B. lyrata L., and B. maritima Ten., are revisited. Nomenclatural types, synonymy, brief descriptions, cytogenetic data, conservation status, distribution maps, and identification keys are included for the accepted taxa, with seven lectotypes and one epitype being designated here.

Following are the main points covered in the report: The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan announces the death of its leader, Mullah Akhtar Mansour, as a result of a US drone strike, and the appointment of the organization’s new leader, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada. As a result of the announcement, members of the Emirate and some Al-Qaeda branches give eulogies in Akhtar Mansour’s memory. Meanwhile, members of the Taliban in Afghanistan swear allegiance to the new leader of the Emirate. Abu Muhammad al-‘Adnani, the spokesman for the Islamic State, calls on supporters of the organization to help it carry out terrorist attacks on western soil using any means and provides permission for the killing of all civilians in the west. In addition, al-‘Adnani accuses rebel factions in Syria, including Al-Nusra Front, of joining the infidel forces and collaborating with the US and coalition forces. Abu Abdullah al-Shami, a member of Al-Nusra Front’s Shura Council, accuses the US of foiling the Syrian revolution and supporting the Alawite regime. According to him, this trend only serves to encourage the organization’s fighters to keep fighting. In addition, al-Shami calls on all jihad factions in Syria to continue jihad until they achieve their goals.
