It doesn't make sense to me to have the Italian name of the country on this article. Italian is no longer a significant language in Libya like French is in Morocco/Algeria/Tunisia.

The last time we numbering the people of libya has been 7,307,345 in 2017 which means in 2030 will be 11 million عبدالوهاب الليبي (talk) 02:41, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What's the source these numbers are based on? El_C 02:43, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @عبدالوهاب الليبي:. I reverted your unsourced change again. Please provide a reliable source for the new number. Without that source, your change has no chance to stay. And if you continue to edit war, you will be blocked from editing. --McSly (talk) 22:34, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Pacification of Libya. Note that, as the thread goes on, the conversation switches from discussing "Genocide of Libya" as a possible title to discussing whether to change it to "Second Italo-Senussi War".
