On 20 October 2011, Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi was captured and executed. Since then, far from improving, Libya has gone from bad to worse. Now a new Western-backed government and a warlord who enjoys the sympathy of Russia and also Meloni's Italy are vying for power.
The question is, is there a solution to the Libyan chaos, and why is it important for Europe? In this video we tell you all the details.

I remember an interview with a former CIA officer who discussed the shortsighted US policy in seeking the downfall of Gaddafi who had done infrastructure builds within Libya to improve the lot of the people only to have the US air force destroy many. Gaddafi himself could not understand how the west could not see that his regime acted as the cork in the bottle in respect of migration flows. This policy of the US was supported and pushed aggressively by the then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Never been to Lybia but other than him being a dictator, I mostly hear good things about him, about how he made the country rich and prosperous with the salaries much higher than in Europe at one point... Perhaps some nations aren't ready for democration and need a strong ruler to sort them up.

Libya was better with Gaddafi, the people got free housing, free healthcare, free education, and a share of the oil money every month. The country developed vastly, and looked to strengthen Africa . The uprising was not an uprising but a planned military operation by outside forces.

@_sizer_ly 6 ай бұрын

The hidden dementia would have been greater. If he had cared about his people, the revolution would not have happened, because you are talking as if Gaddafi cared about the people at all. What were his achievements, for example, free health? At the same time, we used to go for treatment in Tunisia, free education, and cheating is obviously widespread, especially at the secondary school level. Schools are like prisons, and there are only sycophants and fraud in them. However, all neighboring countries call the Libyans ignorant because of their oppressive regime.And what oil money share are you talking about, five hundred dinars in a basic salary per month? This is the oil share. You are definitely talking about Libya, the Mars branch, if you are talking about the fictitious oil share, and I dare you to talk about its value, how much the amount is, and what strengthening Africa you are talking about, and it has not. By strengthening, even in Libya itself, education was zero and health only zero. They were free, and most of the Libyans went for treatment in other countries, especially Tunisia. What kind of reinforcement are you talking about? In the time of the Kingdom, it was Tunisians who came for treatment in Libya, and the Libyan dinar was stronger than the dollar, and as soon as This reactionary coup came until the price of the dinar fell against the dollar, and Libyans became the ones who went for treatment in Tunisia.Not to mention the stupid wars that he fought with neighboring countries without any benefit, such as his war with Chad, because of which Libya lost the Aouzou sector in an absurd war in which the Libyans threw civilians and soldiers into a war in which they occupied poor Chad, killed its president, Habré, and threw all the Libyan civilians, children and the elderly, into A war in which they had no camel or camel, and after that he entered into a useless war with Egypt and because of him Libya entered into an international blockade and he paid billions of the people’s money in an issue that Libya had nothing to do with.And a person like you comes along who knows Libya only by name and says that it was a planned uprising. Rather, it was against the will of human slaves, a spontaneous revolution like any of the Arab Spring revolutions that he himself ignited after he went too far in his sin and injustice and carried out a major massacre in Abu Salim that lit the fuse. The glorious revolution and overthrew this dictator who said in the midst of the revolution, “I am and after me the Kufans” and opened the weapons stores that we are still suffering from to this day. He opened the prisons and released the fiercest criminals in Libya, because of whom the armed militias were formed in Libya.And the Muslim Brotherhood is the mastermind of the revolution. If we assume that the revolution came about through an external conspiracy, then you must remember well that the revolution contributed to its establishment by the Muslim Brotherhood, which was brought by Gaddafi’s son. Saif al-Islam is the one who brought the Brotherhood like Abdel Hakim Belhaj, Ali al-Sallabi, and Othman bin Noman, so his son is him. Whoever carried out a coup against his father, and according to the idea of those who were entrenched and helped Gaddafi during his coup against King Idris, are the same ones who currently run the institutions, and a few of the ruling class belong to February, and most of those who belong to February are symbols of the previous regime. Just as Gaddafi betrayed King Idris, his friends betrayed him, and on The most prominent of them is Khalifa HaftarAnd the Muslim Brotherhood is the mastermind of the revolution.

Sarkozy traded the french army geopolitical independence inherited from de Gaulle against Khadafi s head who refused to adhere to his "mediterranean union" project (which meant french domination over the whole mediterranean area). As a result, France has indeed lost its diplomatic shine, become another american protectorate, while Libya has been destroyed and is now the base of all islamist maffias, threating not only the mediterranean but also the whole of Africa. That s what happens when short term Ubris reins overlong term strategic intelligence. The main winner of american lead "arab spring revolutions" are Russia and China, who brought security and wealth to the endangered regimes. Btw, Haftar lived and was formed in the US, in order to replace Khadafi, but unfortunatly, Turkey entered the game and kept Western Libya in power (yes yes, a Nato member punching the americans in the face)

@ritchirodenbach8972 6 ай бұрын

Just the a quarter of the truth. Gadaffi wanted to create a african currency based on african gold and he was in 2009 the resident of the african Union. France etablished in its former colonies the cfa-franc to exploit, control and keep african countries in poverty, e.g. they payed just 12% of the world markt price of uran in Niger. They were afraid to loose there influence in africa. Quote from a former french president Mitterand:,, without africa, France is no longer a superpower".

As the great Sir Terry Pratchett stated in Feet of Clay, "They think they want good government and justice for all, Vimes, yet what is it they really crave, deep in their hearts? Only that things go on as normal and tomorrow is pretty much like today.” If a king is what is needed for stability, then that's what they should get.

Europe had its own and still does have its own "tribal" or ethnic divisions. What the difference is Europeans have had enough of waring amongst themselves. They grew exhausted after WW2 of fighting on the old continent. No it wasnt smooth and NO it was peace and love. Just plain old common sense. Hope that Africa as a whole can come to that conclusion. But I fear that like Europe, it will only happen after more blood is spilled. Stupidity is the strongest force in this world.
