Libyan civil war
The zoo was forced to shut for safety reasons due to the Libyan Civil War, with many animals becoming more and more traumatised and distressed. After the overthrown of Muammar Gaddafi, the BBC published a short news film detailing the problems the zoo now faces, from a lack of money to feed the animals, to a fragile security system. The animals, the BBC said, were recovering slowly and returning to normal.
