    Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 Eileen Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Eileen Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 By Eileen Ryan In the first decade of their occupation of the former Ottoman territories of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in current-day Libya, the Italian colonial administration established a system of indirect rule in the Cyrenaican town of Ajedabiya under the leadership of Idris al-Sanusi, a leading member of the Sufi order of the Sanusiyya and later the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Libya after the Second World War. Post-colonial historiography of modern Libya depicted the Sanusiyya as nationalist leaders of an anti-colonial rebellion as a source of legitimacy for the Sanusi monarchy. Since Qaddafi’s revolutionary coup in 1969, the Sanusiyya all but disappeared from Libyan historiography as a generation of scholars, eager to fill in the gaps left by the previous myopic focus on Sanusi elites, looked for alternative narratives of resistance to the Italian occupation and alternative origins for the Libyan nation in its colonial and pre-colonial past. Their work contributed to a wider variety of perspectives in our understanding of Libya’s modern history, but the persistent focus on histories of resistance to the Italian occupation has missed an opportunity to explore the ways in which the Italian colonial framework shaped the development of a religious and political authority in Cyrenaica with lasting implications for the Libyan nation.

Focus Group Recommendations 10. Demographics Detailed Methodology • The survey was conducted on behalf of the International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights in Survey Research by Altai Consulting. This research is intended to support the development and evaluation of IRI and USAID/OTI Libya Transition Initiative programming with municipal councils. The research consisted of quantitative and qualitative components, conducted by IRI and USAID/OTI Libya Transition Initiative respectively. • Data was collected April 14 to May 24, 2016, and was conducted over the phone from Altai’s call center using computer-assisted telephone technology. • The sample was 2,671 Libyans aged 18 and over. • Quantitative: Libyans from the 22 administrative districts were interviewed on a 45-question questionnaire on municipal councils. In addition, 13 municipalities were oversampled to provide a more focused analysis on municipalities targeted by programming. Oversampled municipalities include: Tripoli Center (224), Souq al Jumaa (229), Tajoura (232), Abu Salim (232), Misrata (157), Sabratha (153), Benghazi (150), Bayda (101), Sabha (152), Ubari (102), Weddan (101), Gharyan (100) and Shahat (103). • The sample was post-weighted in order to ensure that each district corresponds to the latest population pyramid available on Libya (US Census Bureau Data, updated 2016) in order for the sample to be nationally representative. • Qualitative: 18 focus groups were conducted with 5-10 people of mixed employment status and level of education in Tripoli Center (men and women), Souq al Jumaa (men and women), Tajoura (men), Abu Salim (men), Misrata (men and women), Sabratha (men and women), Benghazi (men and women), Bayda (men), Sabha (men and women), Ubari (men), and Shahat (men).

  • La Ricostruzione Dell'immaginario Violato in Tre Scrittrici Italofone Del Corno D'africa

A cierta altura, un bisabuelo encuentra a su bisnieto. El bisabuelo está completamente chocho (sus pensamiemto tiene nel color del agua) y sonríe con la misma beatífica sonrisa de su bisnieto recién nacido. El bisabuelo es feliz porque ha perdido la memoria que tenía. El bisnieto es feliz porque no tiene, todavía, ninguna memoria. He aquí, pienso, la felicidad perfecta. Yo no la quiero Eduardo Galeano Parte Prima Subire l’immaginario. Ricostruire l’immaginario. Il fenomeno e le problematiche Introduzione Molte persone in Italia sono persuase, in assoluta buona fede, della positività dell’operato italiano in Africa. Italiani brava gente dunque. Italiani costruttori di ponti, strade, infrastrutture, palazzi. Italiani civilizzatori. Italiani edificatori di pace, benessere, modernità. Ma questa visione delineata corrisponde alla realtà dei fatti? Gli italiani sono stati davvero brava gente in Africa? Nella dichiarazioni spesso vengono anche azzardati parallelismi paradossali tra la situazione attuale e quella passata delle ex colonie italiane. Si ribadisce con una certa veemenza che Libia, Etiopia, Somalia ed Eritrea tutto sommato stavano meglio quando stavano peggio, cioè dominati e colonizzati dagli italiani.

  • Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods Needs Assessment – Libya 1 1
    Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods Needs Assessment – Libya 1 1 Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods Needs Assessment – Libya 2 Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods Needs Assessment – Libya Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods Needs Assessment – Libya 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the aftermath of the 2011 fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s rule in Libya, a power struggle for control of the country developed into an ongoing civil war, resulting in population displacements and disrupting household livelihoods. In addition to the conflict, Libya’s location and internal political instability caused the country to become a key transitory point for African and Middle Eastern migrants traveling to Europe. Previous studies indicate that foreign migrants have historically played a key role in agricultural labor work within the country. In order to develop and implement future interventions to support Libya’s agricultural sector, information is needed relating to the impacts of the ongoing political crisis on the sector (for local, displaced, and migrant populations), current needs, and entry points for agriculture support programs. To fill this information gap, FAO conducted a rapid agricultural needs assessment in August 2017. Key findings The findings of this study show that agriculture still represents an important source of income in rural areas, with notable regional variations. In the east and south, the population heavily depends on salaries and pensions provided by the government or private sector, while agricultural activities are generally considered secondary income sources. In the west, meanwhile, there is a higher dependency on agriculture as an income source as these areas have some larger scale farms. Eastern, southern and western districts alike hold a strong potential to enhance their agricultural production.

  • Libya Is Located in the North of Africa Between Longitude 9O ‐ 25O East and Latitude 18O ‐ 33O North
    Libya is located in the north of Africa between longitude 9o ‐ 25o east and latitude 18o ‐ 33o north. It extends from the Mediterranean coast in the north to the Sahara desert in the south, with a total surface area of approximately 1.750 million km2.Itis bounded on the east by Egypt, on the west by Tunisia and Algeria and on the south by Chad, Niger and Sudan. According to 2006 census, the total population of Libya amounted to about 5.658 millions (5.298 Libyans and 0.360 non‐Libyans) The population density varies widely from one area to another. About 70% of Libyan population lives in the coastal cities, where more than 45% live in Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrātah and AzZawayah, with a population density of about 45 person per km2. This density does not exceed 0.3 person per km2 in the interior regions. Location map Rainfall in Libya is characterized by its inconsistency as a result of the contrary effects of the Sahara from one side and the Mediterranean from the other. Intensive thunderstorms of short duration are fairly common. Abou t 96% of Libyan ldland surface receives annual raifllinfall of less than 100 mm. The heaviest rainfall occurs in the northeastern region (Jabal al Akhdar) from 300 to 600mm and in the northwestern region (Jabal Nafūsah and Jifārah plain) from 250 to 370mm. There is no perennial surface runoff in Libya, a part of the precipitation falling on the Jabal Nafūsah and Jabal al Akhdar cause a surface runoff trough many seasonal wadis. Wadis in a desert environment generally are dry during the whole year except after sudden heavy rainfall which often resulting a flash flood.

  • Dissertation Isotope and Noble Gas Study of Three
    DISSERTATION ISOTOPE AND NOBLE GAS STUDY OF THREE AQUIFERS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST LIBYA Submitted by Mohamed S. E. Al Faitouri Department of Geosciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2013 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: William Sanford Michael Ronayne Steven Fassnacht Reagan Waskom Copyright by Mohamed S. E. Al Faitouri 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ISOTOPE AND NOBLE GAS STUDY OF THREE AQUIFERS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST LIBYA Libya suffers from a shortage in water resources due to its arid climate. The annual precipitation in Libya is less than 200 mm in the narrow coastal plain, while the southern part of the country receives less than 1mm. On the other hand, Libya has large resources of good quality groundwater distributed in six basin systems beneath the Sahara. In 1983, the Libyan government established the Great Man-Made River Authority (GMRA) in order to transport 6.5 million cubic meters a day of this groundwater to the coastal cities, where over 90% of the population lives. This large water extraction of one million cubic meters per day (or greater) from each wellfield has the potential to greatly stress the water resources in these areas. This study focuses on three GMRA wellfields in two sedimentary basins (Sirt and Al Kufra) in central and southeast Libya. The Sarir wellfield is located within the Sirt basin and consists of 126 production wells; the Tazerbo wellfield in the Al Kufra basin has 108 wells; and the proposed Al Kufra wellfield is also in the Al Kufra Basin and will have 300 production wells.
