@joebenson528 Жыл бұрын
@@hristinatrajkovskatrajkovs74 It wasn't the people that didn't like him. It was the extremists that fought the coup supported by NATO. Gaddafi wanted a African Union that would protect the Arab world (especially North Africa) from NATO imperialism. He also wanted to establish a gold dinar which would bolster the African economy and consequently tank the US Petrol Dollar and EU economy. He pioneered the largest man made river in the world, to bring fresh water to Africans throughout Libya, Chad and Tunisia. This would make them less reliant on Western aid. He also wanted to work with RU and China to modernize Libyan infrastructure which would render Western corporations useless, considering they cost more than their RU and Chinese counterparts and are a lot less efficient. No wonder NATO led yet another illegal coup in a sovereign nation (Afghanistan, Iraq and the -Arab- NATO Spring of 2011 etc)

Hi Nick, greetings from India. I have a suggestion, whenever you are visiting politically and economically volatile countries such as Libya, I think you should also conduct some off-camera or off-the-record interviews. Being completely off-the-record might make the people speak their mind which is otherwise they would like to suppress when they are on camera. Then you yourself can share them with us without naming them, just the way you talked about the incident at the end of this video. Hence, we will be able to tally the responses, if both off the record and on camera responses are similar, it is what it is, if they are different in theme, then there is scope for critical analysis of the responses.

Responding in the way you described is actually a common and very human way to create a connection with someone. Similarities create strong bonds, and this awful trend of people being so far up their own assholes that they feel like the person opposite of them is trying to take anything away from them simply by saying that they experience or do something similar is seriously disturbing. I love when people respond with their similarities to me, it makes me that much more inclined to spend time with them.

One of my major regrets is not visiting leptis magna the last time I visited family. Almost did and it didn’t pan out. I figured, “meh, I’ll see it next time”. Revolution happened 2 years later. Who knows when I’ll have another chance. Great video, sir!! Very ballsy! Libyans are not keen on being filmed and it’s very easy to get into a confrontation if you don’t have consent.

I met many nice people there, but it was not very safe at the time. Hopefully situation changed to better and will continue to improve. Good luck on your next trip.

Man from Libya: Media says it's unsafe here, but it is safe. *a few minutes later* "We were approached by police in military uniforms and separated, brought to a station and questioned."

I’m 100% certain that the Libyan government knows of your work and your channel on this platform. They should think about (paying) you for doing a great service to the country. Tourists leave a lot of money behind when they leave and go back home. Who knows, Libya might be the next great tourist attraction, with its historical sites, extensive coastline, friendly people and wonderful looking foods. Hopefully, but that will only happen if it is what they want. Thank you for your content, and live life to the fullest, because it goes by really fast.

I knew many Egyptians who had friends/relatives working in Libya or who had family connections in Libya. I'm so happy to be able to see inside this country through your camera.
