1. Kidnapped Tunisians return home from Libya
 
 
Tunis Tunesien Botschafter Libyen Diplomaten Ankunft


 Two Tunisian embassy staffers freed by kidnappers in Libya, and return home in Tunis after several months of captivity. The abductors had been demanding the release of Libyans imprisoned in Tunisia on terrorism charges, but Tunisia's Foreign Minister Mongi Hamdi said on Monday no ransom had been paid for two embassy members.

 After Muammar Gadhafi was killed by rebels for three years ago, diverse militias appeared in Libya. I think when I see current South Korean situation, many militias will appear soon like Libya. Because nowadays we watched many bad news but government didn't deal with the bad news well. So many citizen don't believe governmnet and they are doing many demonstration against government.

2. Libya Leads the World in Slowest Internet Connection Speeds
 
 


 Libyan Internet connection speed is the slowest in the world at 0.5Mpbs. The global average of Internet connection speed is 3.9Mbps, and country with the fastest speed is South Korea that speed is 23.6Mbps. Slow Internet connection speed means that an economy does not have a significant hallmark of progress.

 Some people who traveled abroad say Internet speed is very slow. I'm satisfied with fast internet connection speed in South Korea because as the article mentioned, faster internet connection speed, more significant hallmark of progress in economy. Also during short time we can gain more information, and culture goes international like PSY.

3. Libya’s Biggest Oil Port Es Sider May Open in August, Rebels Say
 
 
 
 
 Libya's largest oil-export terminal, Es Sider, may reopen in August. Libya is now producing about 300,000 barrels a day, or a fifth of its output before Qaddafi was overthrown in 2011. The loss of the country’s oil production has boosted the price of Brent, a benchmark for half the world’s traded crude.

 During about one years, Libya's large oil-export terminals was closed by militias, so Libya can't export oil. As the situation, militias's power in Libya will be weak. Because their economy will improve by oil export, and relationship between government and militias also will recover.
