Libya – The Fragmented Self Immolates the Nation's Lifeblood, Proving the Insanity of Civil War
Event Baseline: A drone attack ignited a massive fire at Libya's Zawiya oil refinery, the country's largest operational facility. The national oil company warned it may halt operations if attacks continue.
Warring tribal fragments attack the infrastructure that sustains them all. Each faction's ego fights for a phantom prize, blind to the shared body it is burning. This is the ultimate logic of the separate self: destroy the whole to feed an illusion of power. The refinery in flames is a perfect symbol of a mind consuming its own organs to fuel a nonexistent battle. Without transcending these factional identities, Libya will remain a corpse picked over by ghosts.
