Libya's Revolution Is in Ruins

- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2019
- Libya is in a state of chaos as rival governments compete for power, human smuggling runs rampant, and black markets thrive with everything from oil to hard currency. The international community is backing the Government of National Accord, which maintains a tenuous hold on the capital. But the government’s survival depends on warring militias, many of whom are paid to police the smuggling they themselves are involved in.

When Gaddafi died, he said he would take Libya's greatness with him. He did.

Did the people in Libya really think America was interested in freeing them from oppression? Come on man
The only US govt interest is destabilizing the Arabs and Muslim countries
Not all cities were against Gaddafi, they are were only 2 fuckin cities and NATO
Which are those cities?......and why did they opposed him,is their any particular reason like tribal conflict or something else@@Libyan000
I lived and worked in Libya for 7 years,during the time of Co. Gaddaffy, it was a prosperous and beautiful country,
he built roads, hospital up to date in every city, industrial capacity, free health care for everyone on Libyan
territory, free scholarship for any Libyans, gasoline, housing and electricity was almost free, stores where full
of merchandise for all over the world, also very sheep, every Libyan receive money working or not,
Col. Gaddaffy was a great man who deserve respect and remembrance..
Then we saw what Libyans did with them. Hear some fail information from outside country then kill him for their freedom, democracy... Sigh...
That insane, they dont understand how many countries wants leader like gadafi and saddam.
@@1HistoryDragon but what was the reason for Libyans hating on gaddafi
@@pipipupu5104 America and Euro wanted him disappear because his action effect their oil's price. They use communication and news to claim gaddafi's bad side without proper evident. They also pay for who opposite him to create the protest. The whole process reveal the greed of human is always never stop. Even you have enough with your talent you still claim more which do not your reach. Sigh...
@@pipipupu5104 For example, Gaddafi permit woman join military. He also have the female platoon. The Western news claimed that platoon was created for his lust. Let's look at history, all this man want is the good for his country. Free Education, woman can go to school etc... The female platoon can be understand the change in woman power in the Muslim country where woman often do not have any power. So the lesson is do not hear everything without carefully thinking.
One thing we can all agree on, Toyota is pretty reliable.
Best vehicle for Africa and the ME.
i have an old camry, boy that car have gone ten thousand of miles since the last oil changes and nothing happened
Best ride to move in heat and sand to kill a bunch of people.

The US was barely involved in Libya.

The bombing was to protect the people of Libya from Gaddafi's military.
All the people fighting on the ground were Libyans.
The militia who killed Gaddafi were Libyans.
There were no US or foreign troops in Libya.

I don't feel pity at all. They succumbed to their emotions during the fallout effects of the 2009 recession that inadvertently led to rise in prices all over North Africa, and led a downward spiral from then on because of a temporary inconvenience. Now they have generational instability. They reap what they sow.

@@ashconoskoo6387 They weren't primitives in their thinking, on the contrary they did the most logical thing a population would do: Topple a mad, brutal and incompetent dictator, that spent half a century wasting vast resources on stupid games, he governed a state without institutions, he even didn't have a proper army. The country was in deep crisis and the social contract of bribery for submission was no longer sustainable. It is the responsibility of a country's leaders to foresee the crisis and fix it not its people. So stop it with this "they should have seen it coming" because that never works. Now the only way for them is to prevent the other asshole who wants to be god for another 40 years from taking Tripoli, and form real a strong institutions and lay the foundation of a new democracy.
Pretty stark thing to just casually admit. Goes to show the militia before was PAYING him. His loyalties aren't with country. Also goes to show foreign meddling was involved in paying this man

GADDAFI’S LAST FORMAL SPEECH
“ In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful…
For 40 years, or was it longer, I can’t remember, I did all I could to give
people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave
them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert.
I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Ronald Reagan, when he killed
my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he
killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers and sisters
from Africa with money for the African Union.
I DID ALL I COULD TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT
OF REAL DEMOCRACY, WHERE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEES RAN OUR
COUNTRY. But that was never enough, as some told me, even people
who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied,
as selfish as they were, they wanted more.
THEY TOLD AMERICANS AND OTHER VISITORS THAT THEY
NEEDED ‘DEMOCRACY’ AND ‘FREEDOM’, NEVER REALIZING IT
WAS A CUT THROAT SYSTEM, WHERE BIGGEST DOG EATS THE
REST. But they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in
America there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing,
no free education, and no free food, except for when people had to
beg or go to long lines to get soup.
No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others,
they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and
Muslim leader we’ve had since Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez
Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his footsteps
I tried to follow - to keep my people free from colonial domination - from
thieves who would steal from us.
Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little
African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our
country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free
education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery,
called "capitalism".
But all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations
run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer. So, there is no
alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by
following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland,
with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab
brothers and sisters.
I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all
the thousands who are all my children, then so be it. Let this testament be
my voice to the world, that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up
to cruelty, stoop up to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist
ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and
Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light.
When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent.
I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not spend our national treasury foolishly ,
and like Salah-al-Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem
for Islam, I took little for myself…
In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they know the truth,
yet continue to lie. They know that our land is independent and free, not in
the colonial grip, that my vision, my path is, and has been clear and for my
people and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may Allah
almighty help us to remain faithful and free".
My brothers and sisters let's start loving more of each other and stop killing
each other cause Europe America and other western world will never
want to see sunshine for Africans..”
Thanks for that. I'm catching up on old news. Now that I read that and think of Hillary Clinton laughing about his death, it makes me both sad and angry. Looking to get out the US and land in a country where I can help ameliorate suffering. Libya seems like a viable option.

@@levmyshkin5590 Thanks. I can't talk specifics but that's the plan. I know about the Turks, Egyptians, Russians, and Tuaregs. It ain't pretty, but watching Libya go down like Iraq and Afghanistan where ancient treasures were destroyed is not good for humanity overall.
libya during gaddafi: backed by massive amounts of gold and no debt, no banks!
libya after gaddafi: mountains of debt, war, and no economy, all their gold gone.
finally someone that is not naive! the problem was that Gadafi wanted to expand their asome leadership to other african countries and help them to grow like libya, and the banks owners didn't agreed with him
@Holding Jupiter a politics theory
Libya before western intervention: backed by massive amounts of gold and no debt, no banks! Libya after western intervention: mountains of debt, war, and no economy. FTFY
Ah the myth of Libyan gold.. You think if people had it that good they would have rebelled? Do you know anything about Libya? How badly developed it is outside Tripoli, Tobruk and Misrata?
What happened to Libya’s gold?
Thanks

@@leandroantonio9128 "here we go again" comes from the video game GTA San Andreas due to the fact that Toyota was used in the 1968 Toyota War between Republic of Chad & Libya.

Prior to Libya's "liberation" it was the wealthiest country in Africa. Libya had no debt and was working with other African countries in forming a united currency independent of the US dollar.
The US could not have that of course. A few bombers full of "liberation" and we now have open slave markets in Libya.
Independent of the U.S. $? That alone can get you killed!
Gold for legal money.that is the reason
I think Saddam Hussein was helping him with a new currency.
any gov who had the idea to go back to gold and silver are in the cross-hair of the world police USA, this will topple the world currency system - which is unfair - and they would lose the power. imagine a small country having the same on par stage as the US and Britain, that would make them small too. and now imagine a country like China and Russia trading in gold, that alone would render the US powerless.
@@duraath
I think this shows how the fear of loss of power to a small country, and basically considering Libya had extremely radical views against the powerhouse nations, the USA decided propaganda had to be made to topple a threat to the western world. It seems like while the west keeps preaching about how they want the whole world to prosper, they seem scared of any country against their political and religious beliefs to take off.
This is the DEMOCRACY that the US promised

Gaddafi moments before he dies: "You will regret it one day, and on that day regret will do you no good".
The evil has been dead for almost 9 years and Libya is still in the state of civil war that started after his death in 2011.
If you look at the neighbouring country Tunisia, you can say that Zin el Abidine was as a matter of fact evil as the country quickly recovered and improved in many ways after the revolution and his expulsion earlier that year (2011).
Libya on the other hand has no stable economy and is showing no signs of improvement.

Under Gaddafi, Libya had was the wealthiest country in Africa ruled by 1 dictator.
Nowadays, Libya is a poor country ruled by dozens of petty dictators.

"Libya was the most stable country in Northern Africa" Then Hillary and Barak happened.
dude america didn't step foot in Libya, they instituted a no fly zone to level the battlefield. Libyans and Egyptians didn't all the work
@James Franko lets not act as if Republicans and Bush did any better with Hussain and Iraq/Afghanistan. No one is saying America didn't fund groups, many countries funds different factions, especially during the Arab spring, but America did relatively little during this whole thing. This is on the Libyan people. Godaffi was slightly too heavy handed. He was good at unifying the country together. But he was definitely hated, and even in this video after everything that has happened, is still hated by many.
@@h1inc816 It's this kind of person that votes democrat...based on what they FEEL, not based on facts. Keep trying.
