political, economic, and social role in Libyan relations with neighbouring
countries during various historical phases. These cities paved the way for
building economic relations, especially the exchange of goods between North

building relations between Libya and neighbouring countries and to tracking
the political, economic and social impacts on Saharan cities, but also their
effects between the northern African region and southern Libya towards
African Sub-Saharan region. Additionally, it is important to explain the
role of southern cities geographically in the influx of illegal migration
of temporary transit and settlement areas and crossing north to Europe and
studying the impact of instability and insecurity after 2011 in the tribal
and ethnic conflict in southern Libyan region. The importance of the study
is based on identifying the political, economic, and social conditions of
