context_page_description: This is a list of diplomatic missions of Libya.
  Under the rule of Muammar al-Gaddafi, Libya broke practice with almost all other countries in 1979 by renaming their embassies "People's Bureaus", with the diplomatic staff known as a local "revolutionary committee".
  Libyan People's Bureaus were involved in a shooting incident at the Libyan embassy in London in 1984, and believed to be involved in the La Belle nightclub bombing in West Berlin in 1986. Earlier in 1981, the U.S. government closed the Libyan People's Bureau in Washington, D.C. and expelled the Libyan staff in response to conduct that generally violated internationally accepted standards of diplomatic behavior. After making amends to the British government and avowing state sponsorship of terrorism Libya reopened its missions in London in 1999, and Washington, D.C. in 2006. Aside from its reapproachment with the West, Libya has also been pursuing deeper ties with African states.
  During the 2011 Libyan civil war, there were two governments claiming to be the de jure government of Libya. One government was led by Gaddafi and the other was the National Transitional Council.
