Audio In this episode of RANE’s Essential Geopolitics podcast, Stratfor Senior Global Analyst at RANE, Matthew Bey, discusses much-anticipated elections in Libya. The country is scheduled to hold its first presidential vote on Dec. 24, which will also mark Libya’s first major nationwide ballot since 2014. The elections are a bid to unify and bring stability to the war-torn country, but according to Bey, that’ll likely be a tall order.
