Libya is made up of parts of various empires that changed society as a whole. As a result, the Libyans can not reach a common national identity. Many foreigners who control Libya include Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, Italians, Britons, and French. All of these external forces can dominate the state of Libya through an unfair policy that forces people to avoid seeking political, social and economic support inside.
