Angelina Jolie visits Libya for two days to 'express solidarity with them'


Angelina Jolie is visiting Libya for two days to meet with aid groups and UNHCR representatives in the country after the Arab Spring.
The U.N. Goodwill Ambassador went on her own accord, but arrived there on Tuesday to help in the cities of Tripoli and Misrata.
"I have come to Libya for a variety of reasons, to see a country in transition at every level and to witness efforts to fully realize the promise of the Arab Spring,” the actress told Reuters.
Her statement continued on to say that Libya is facing many challenges, such as “internally displaced people, refugees, rule of law, security, sanitation, education, health and other humanitarian needs.”
