      we ( western society ) already tired that remember ... during 60/70/80/90 if anyone would try to say something bad about how THINGS work , the immediate response would be " don't think about it / you worry to much / you are very pessimist & negative / don't think about this things / try to be happy " well this is were we ended up by " not thinking about it " ... Problems don't just solve themselves , it would be great if they did. It is good when people criticise because the people who do criticise have really though about that they are complaining about and often means that they have also found another , More Efficient Way , of doing the thing that they are complaining about. So people who criticise , are offering another alternative way , and in the mean time , there are people like you who think " let's just hope that tomorrow will be better " . But tomorrow will not be better , if we keep doing the same shit that got us into this problems. Tomorrow will not be better just because we want it to be better , we have to do better to hope for better, you know like the most logic thing in the universe. The most dangerous people on earth are Empty Positives , who want better but refuse to do better

    Hey Nick :) my name is Alaa, I am a 26 years old Libyan living in Tripoli, I'm so happy to see your effort to try to shed a light on the current situation of our country, and debunk some of the fear created by the media's portrayal of the situation, and partly based of recent history events as well. To shed a light on some of the thoughts that were going through your head in the video, Ghdames is a historical/nature tourism destination, the city is mostly empty because of the current weather ( simply this isn't the prime season to visit it ) , Also the police watching you closely is truly for your safety, unfortunately we still have a parley there legal system and the last thing any of us want is a foreigner being endangered by armed groups or even random acts of ignorantly hate attacks, anyway, if you are still in the city and you find your self interested in getting more local and youthful perspectives, please feel free to contact me and I'm sure we can work something out :)

    I'm currently based in Libya. Last spring break, my colleagues, whom are all foreign teacher from all sorts of continent had a great time with their visit in Gadames. (I wish I was there too but I went to spend my break outside.)
    Here in Tripoli, security police and militias are a lot less compared 2 years ago.
    Shops are opened and everything are back in business. We drive and walk in Tripoli especially in Madina, the city center and I never encountered anyone asking us about anything except hospitality and people asking where are we from and after that, they will say be very happy to say welcome to Libya.
    They're happy seeing foreigners here. Mainly because most of them went out during the war. So few are still working here but it's not a common sight.
    So, in summary, you still find good places here but are mainly found in Tripoli and other major cities. But outside Tripoli, there are some peaceful places and some are not. It's just a matter of choosing where to go and knowing the limits plus the dangers of places you're trying to visit.
    I hope you try to share the nice shops and places in the city centers. They're far than what I expected in a country torn by civil war. That's for sure.

      @Alejandro Brunner Hillary Bill Clinton Obama and Biden all have more than enough money between them to rebuild it. Understand many Americans were completely against the uncautious and incompetent way things were handled in Libya and oppose it and whatever was done was not of the fault of many Americans and in no way could be prevented by many. Those 4 on the other hand continue to this day the perpetual mistakes and selfish acts the resulted in many of the sorts of things that harm Americans and Libyans and humans as a whole and alike. It's politicians and warlord war profiteers like them and Gaddafi was as well. Don't forget what the people did to him as well. These are the ones at fault. Power wielders drunk on power and decadence. They are the poison to the modern world.

    My housemate when I was in my first job in London was from Libya. I travelled to Libya with him in 2004; had a great time. Security fears were not a thing- all I came back with were good memories which stay with me even now. 13 years later, in 2017 I travelled to Tripoli for a business meeting; flew in and out the same day but they were possibly the most tense few hours of my life. It's good to see you took the time and chance to visit the country and share your perspective with the rest of us. Doesn't feel like the country is ready for tourism (long way from it) and especially in this post COVID world. But I hope to get back when conditions allow.

If you’re so desirous of blaming anyone, blame the Western countries who bombed and encouraged the breakup of the country only to walk away when Libya needed help most!! It is NOT a secret that the US and her allies are responsible for Libya’s current situation. Don’t blame other Africans who previously went to Libya to find work. For all his mistakes and his cruelty, Gaddafi’s Libya was and is better than today’s Libya of war, bombs, murders, suspicions, kidnapping, etc, The Libyan situation following the uprising against Gaddafi, could’ve been handled differently to preserve and hold the country together whilst seeing to the overthrow of Gaddafi. Instead, those who encouraged and started wars in the country thought they were helping the Libyan people get rid of Gaddafi!! See where that got them! During Gaddafi’s era, NO ONE was sold or bought as a slave - that NEVER happened under Gaddafi and he certainly would NEVER, EVER have allowed that to happen!!! So, get your comments straight.

    I think you missed the significance of what he was saying about the cigarette cartons. During the Kingdom period, the brand is literally a transliteration of "Sport" written in Arabic - like imagine the letters S B O R T written out in Arabic, so it's a transliteration not a translation. Whereas in Gaddafi's Libya it's a translation i.e. it's the actual Arabic word that means sport (riyadha in Arabic). The point is that (depending on your point of view) the Kingdom period is perhaps Anglophile/Westernophile (or pro-colonialist), and the Gaddafi period is Arabophile (or Arab Nationalist).

    Really enjoyed your Libya videos so far. It's no use me saying be careful as you'll do it anyway, so instead I'll say you're brave! But I'm glad you are as it is worth watching these videos helping us connect in a way the MSM doesn't.

    My dream as a little girl was to travel Africa, it was sad to grow up and learn that there's much turmoil on my continent. Still it's a beautiful continent, at least now I get to see it through you Nick. The thing leaders of the world don't realize is that they'll be accountable for everything they did in this life. Love from South Africa

      i honestly dont want to down trod your hopes, but the Chinese are purely dismantling Africa every single minute that passes. they have have orchestrated Kenya already and are moving inland. using large loan money (billions) to buy African land and property and companies so they can back peddle profit from ports and places of international trade.
      the western nations already abuse mineral resource and rare resource. reason DR congo is still in civil war for gold production.
