What were the reasons behind the US intervention in the Libyan Civil War (2014-2016)?

The US intervened in the Libyan Civil War (2014-2016) for several reasons, including concerns about terrorism and instability in the region, and to support the United Nations efforts to establish a unity government. The conflict arose when rival governments and militias vied for power and control, leading to a political vacuum and violent clashes.

The US involvement included airstrikes and logistical support, aimed at degrading the capabilities of the Islamic State and other extremist groups operating in Libya. Additionally, the US supported the UN-led peace process, which sought to broker a political solution to the conflict and establish a single, inclusive government. The US intervention was part of a broader international effort to stabilize the country and promote democracy and human rights in the region.
