MB, a journalist, who was forced to leave Libya at the end of 2011, says: "Media are still suffering from the same old problems almost like the absence of an independent press (and you can underline as much as you can the word independent), the absence of accurate data, the lack of transparency and the fear of non judicial punishment, etc. as well as their suffering in everyday life like everyone else."

He adds, speaking of his personal experience: "There were armed groups (masked) at home in November and December 2011 and in February 2012, they asked after me. I received in my email many threats from many names who are the most likely nicknames. Later, I found out that those pages were closed. Unfortunately, a journalist, A.M!! posted my name and photo on a Facebook page with insults and obscene words on February trend to terrorize my family in Tripoli. I was also the target of an immoral defaming campaigns for no guilt, in addition to the feeling of alienation and the sensation of being oppressed."

A woman journalist S.N from Sabha says: "I lived a bitter reality because of the threats. So, I had to leave the country when journalists have become the first targets after the army in Libya. With the proliferation of armed militias, journalists are facing death weaponless. They directly targeted as they are carrying the mere truth. The journalist that works with the utmost professionalism without fearing the intimidation of militias or their grooming will face abduction, murder, torture and threats."

The fate of the anyone working in the field of media in Libya in such bad conditions and in the light of these crises is like someone who works in a minefield. There are people working in media institutions who were abducted and were not released until after the payment of a ransom. Some of them would be released on condition of staying away from the media arena in Libya. Some others are still facing an unknown fate if they had not been assassinated because they had not complied with their abductor's request.

In this regard, A.B, a journalist from Tripoli says: " We live a miserable reality which does not need a story, as there are several examples of abduction s and assassinations. They are the fate of all those who dare tell the truth or express themselves in the public sphere. space. Unfortunately, there is no Libyan information in such an overwhelming mess and in the absence of professionalism. As for me, I have no alternative to stay working in media to meet the miserable fate as it happened to some colleagues who lost the source of their income or those who lost their lives because of their opinions. I will leave to another field to work where there is absolutely no life for me. Leaving journalism will keep you away from the bullets of extremists and thugs".

This crisis impacted a large number of media, which forced some of them to close their premises and stop working completely because of the political divide in Libya. Due of the deteriorating and prevailing security situation, some media outlets had their premises attacked, set to fire or locked while other outlets suffered from delays and inability to pay the salaries of their staff forcing the employees to leave them and search for a living in other fields.

The journalist A.M says:" I moved to work with many of media outlets because of the problems I had worked for a long time with a well-known newspaper in Libya, "Cyrene" "but it closed because of financial difficulties and its political vision. I had during the previous two years to work with online media because many paper newspapers had stopped in Libya."

Terrorism and the threat of murder and abduction did not affect Libyans journalists only. It also affected correspondents and foreign reporters who come to Libya to cover the events. It first started during the events of February 2011 when the cameraman Ali Hassan al-Jaber was assassinated in an ambush targeting the Al-Jazeera crew in the region of Hawari an area in the south-west of the city of Benghazi during the coverage of the Libyan uprising. Ali Hassan al-Jaber was the first journalist to have been killed since the start of the Libyan uprising.

It should be noted that the journalist Sofiene Chourabi and the photographer Nadhir Gtari, who had gone missing since September 2014 when they were on a media mission. In this regard, the Tunisian journalist, Zemorda Dalhoumi working in the Maghreb newspaper says that the family and the colleagues of the two Tunisian journalists abducted in Libya are living a difficult psychological situation as they are torn between rumors and uncertain news among those who confirm the death of their children by terrorist organizations and those who confirm they are safety and they are abducted in remote areas difficult to access. She adds that they are currently living a state of despair mixed with hope to see their children released. There is no established fact upon which they can be sure their children are alive, nothing but their photos they hold wherever they move.
