It may have to do with each government's (state-to-state) political relations at the time. In 2004, Bush lifted sanctions on Libya and Americans were allowed to work there once again. Other government's prohibited the monies in Libya from entering their country due to terrorist links. With politics constantly changing, I would be afraid that it would change in the midst of employment!


>>Libya is not a good place for work... My uncle worked at Libya and he couldn't take his money from them. They said him "you can use that money just in there"... It was an old story but seem conditions worse than today...

>It seems to depend where you work. My uncle worked there under state-to-state arrangement, no problem and good money, and that was some 25 years ago. A friend of mine worked a couple of years there recently, through a British company (I think, though it's possible there was another middleman), and he made pretty much as much as I do... and saved much more because there was nothing to spend it on :).
