WHAT DOES BENGHAZI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Benghazi

Benghazi

Benghazi /bɛnˈɡɑːzi/ is the second largest city in Libya, the capital of the Cyrenaica region, and the former provisional capital of the National Transitional Council. The wider metropolitan area is also a district of Libya. The port city is located on the Mediterranean Sea. During the Kingdom era of Libya's history, Benghazi enjoyed a sort of joint-capital status, possibly because the King used to reside in the nearby city of Bayda and the Senussis in general were associated with Cyrenaica rather than Tripolitania. Benghazi continues to hold institutions and organizations normally associated with a national capital city. This creates a constant atmosphere of rivalry and sensitivities between Benghazi and Tripoli and by extension between the two regions. The population of the entire district was 500,120 in the 1995 census and had increased to 670,797 in the 2006 census. On 15 February 2011, an uprising against the government of Muammar Gaddafi occurred in the city. On 21 February, the city was taken by Gaddafi opponents, who founded the National Transitional Council days later.
