This is a lot of the stuff people don't remember about Qaddafi. He was constantly sticking his thumbs into his neighbors' political disputes to grab territory, wealth, and influence in the region. He wanted to replace France as their colonizer.

Europeans created this clusterfuck formula especially in their transfer of colonial power to natives. Basically by giving one single tribe of their choosing all the governing power and completely ignoring the rest living in their territory. Of course in due time that single tribe began to look down on the other tribes seeing them as second class citizens and once the communist got involved and started arming those people from the ignored tribes. Europeans kicked rocks, shit got ugly. This literally happened to just about every African nation.

For a country almost three times as large as Germany, it sounds like the war was fought by armies of fewer than 5000 on both sides. It's hard for me to imagine a war fought on such a wide and sparse front.

Argent made a video on the funny acronyms. Do watch his channel. In any case, Thank You for this beauty. I always wish to know what the French were up to. Edit: Watching this, it seems that it began with perhaps understandable causes but Libya seeking it's own ends while entirely isolated by potential allies as well as the new governments increasingly accommodating rebel demands meant instead of France, Libya was the oppressive power. Fascinating stuff as usual.

It's not necessarily a 50/50 split... People lean into what they care about. My friends husband was a Muslim Marxist activist from Morocco. He was more Marxist in what he pressed for. Consider that most European Marxists have Christian backgrounds. (It's more Communists that pushed down religion, albeit there's also Marx's opiate of the masses statement)
