While a small number news stories refer to prolonged fighting between factions in Libya (eg http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46425503/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/t/year-after-revolt-libya-mired-factional-fighting/#.UPshzB1wrTo), the extent of such stories in reliable sources is nothing like what would be expected if this was a widely recognised concept (I note that a fair number of ''unreliable sources'' are claiming that such a conflict exists, with many being inspired by this article, I suspect).
