They needed to include rainwater harvesting to these deep reservoirs. It's my understanding he had a lot of very good public works projects. Qaddafi was a better leader than our propaganda machine admitted. Qaddafi was a friend until the US/CIA said he wasn't. Thank you for a deeper dive.
I agree Libya had rocket high potential to change its's country, in Qaddafi days citizens had free healthcare, free education, every citizen was given income from the wealth generated from the oil. If you read up about it it was crazy how advanced Libya was and almost made the gold dinar currency but as soon as plans soon got leaked to challenge the us dollar he had do go. My pleasure as always man thank you for watching and supporting the channel Hope you like these style of videos!
Stop being apologetic in regards to tyrants! The dictator that we had in Romania was a friend of Gadhafi. My country sent workers, materials and food to Libia, and when we asked Gadhafi to pay the debt, he said that he wants to talk to Ceausescu, because "it was with him that he made the agreement", knowing fully well that we've shot our dictator for more than a decade at that point!
Oooh no, how dare we also highlight some of the positive sides... You need to know al sides/facts before you can judge. Some nuance is always important.
@@peter_de_Jong817 Here's some nuance for ya: I'm romanian, and my country went through terrible food, energy, and basically all types of shortages during the 1980's, because our dictator Ceausescu, a good friend of Ghadafi's, decided to foolishly pay the country's debts in advance, even though we still had to pay the full interest, while also undertaking masive investment projects in foreign countries, like Libia, at the same time! But Libya never paid us back! About the civil war and the military intervention, libyans have Isis and the miserable quality of life that Ghadafi instated, to "thank"! Libya's income from oil is also under-"nuanced" in the video, because it's one thing to say that Libya managed to fund the project with own funds from oil exports, and something different to say: "Muamar Ghadafi orkestrated the funding of the project..." and "Muamar Ghadafi's ability to fund the project independently, underscores the financial autonomy that Libya enjoyed during his regime"! When you, as a country, have a 15 billion USD trade advantage (per year of course) and over 100 billion more as reserves in gold and foreign currencies, even an idiot can easily fund a 30 billion dollar project! And when you have the water deposit discovered by chance, by british geologists that were searching for oil, and not by libyans sent by Ghadafi on a mission to find water, as the video suggests! And the project implemented with western tech and equipment, South-Korean specialists, and workers from Bangladesh, Filipines or Vietnam... It's no "miracle" at all! Basically libyans were spectators to the very lucky chance to have petrol and water deposits found for them on their territory, and in exchange for said petrol, have other's people's tech, knowhow and workforce build them some concrete pipes, storage reservoirs and pumping stations... Another "nuance" would be to look at how much more Ghadafi spent on armaments and how his administration treated his people! Now that's some more "nuance", isn't it! Can you see now the apology towards the dictator "nuance" of the video?

They're watchable and interesting, and that "just right" length for the subject. They're "chewy."

What the heck is this? The apology of a dictator?!
