I’m libyan and it’s true gadafi was making Libya the super power of Africa he was building solar panels for energies across Africa and was about to make a new currency then us found out and made a revolution happened
@@cesarmontera2247 tbh it's a basic country if u like history u would love libya as it has alot of d Roman architecture a lovely desert and great beach its currently in elections cuz some guy tried to take over but instead of letting him take over for 40 years like Gaddafi we attacked instantly
@@Raptorsified Rhodesia was an imperiaIist state. A country that wouId be pro NATO/USA PIus, Gaddafi was a good friend of Robert Mugabe and supported him a Iot.
@Delphinium Flower The US was barely involved in Libya. The UK and France did most of the bombing. 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. You are an ignorant moron and a liar.
@@RedRider1600 Liar, US special forces were on the ground helping the LIFG (which is Libyan Al-CIAda) and British Navy helped them acting as Al-CIAda Navy, and British Airforced helped them acting as Al-CIA Airforce
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..
@@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.

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.
It's nice to think that on Wednesday we have a dictator and on Friday we have democratic elected government. It doesn't work like that. It takes generations.
@@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
@@ashconoskoo6387 I never said they are better off now, what I am saying is this was inevitable. It was just meant to happen due to the style of governance Libya had. Gaddafi was the only person that could have avoid it, and only by having a sane governance model. But he it's impossible for him to achieve that, he was simply incompetent, no matter what you say or claim this dictator and most of the dictators the region had were simply not competent. They had medium to low education, mostly military, small general knowledge almost zero political experience and a huge inflated ego. You can't run a country even if it is as wealthy as Libya with no talent.
Not with the blood of gadaffi on their hands they will never find peace and i am for how things have turned this people had everything but they didnt appreciate what they had let them live in there hell hole

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.

@@johnlee270 It's a double edge sword. If international court had prosecuted Goerge W Bush and Barack Obama it would been easier to prosecute Vladimir Putin. So the reason why it's not easy to prosecute Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine it's because Goerge W Bush and Barack Obama weren't prosecuted for they did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lybia and Syria. In fact USA wasn't not even sanctioned during the invasion of the countries I've mentioned, so are to turn a blind to this hypocrisy, vilify and condemn Russia but look the other way when USA does the same 🤔?
Rizal- The US. Regime doesn't give a damn about Libya, Iraq, or Syria, they do Love Israel though. Muammar al-Qaddafi was a good Man for the People, that's why he had to go.
The one that actually made that statement actually fought with his soldier side by side and earned its unconditional loyalty Thats why he said I come I saw I conquer, they in the other side only send plebs to die in their name, such disrespectful use of his statement
" I fought against Gadafi in the Zintan and Bani walid front. Now, if Gadafi were alive I'd fight for him". Tears went down my eyes when I heard this statement. What many people don't realise is, when Gadafi was killed, the last surviving hope for the African continent was killed.
Africa, the Middle East, Asia should just make deals with Russia, China, Mexico why keep trusting the United States and Europeans knowing they are big Liars.
i am indian. i had been to tripoli libya for work. lovely people and lovely place. people especially so so good very polite and nice behaviour. They got potential to be best and better than Arab people. Libya culture and style is awesome. Never make wrong comments on them.

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.
Nemes!s there is no such thing as a necessary evil. that is a stupid excuse. Lydia just elected another monster since they are incapable of running and creating a country that works
the problem was that Gadafi wanted to expand his awesome leadership to other african countries and help them to grow like libya with no debt and without banks, and the banks owners didn't agreed with him
That is the same thing what racist people say about Africa when When white rule Africa it was peace for them. @Williams Castaneda I bet you don't know about the Toyota war. Gaddafi wanted to become the King of Africa. You do know that Gaddafi remove a King.The things that you think Gaddafi did for his people was done by King Idris. He gave his people everything, but in the end they wanted freedom. That is how Gaddafi took over. With the help of the people, but when his time came to leave he destroyed Libya.
@@soleimaniintel9293 of course, the scene is hella funny! Those are criminals foiled in their plan and not realising it, what could be more entertaining? If they have proper cause to flee their homes they can always apply for asylum the legal way and enter our countries the legal way, the ones taking the boats are economic refugees who just want to have an easy life on the cost of our societies.
3:27" I fought against Gaddafi but If Gaddafi was still alive I'd fight for him " Gaddafi wasn't a saint but you always realize the value of what you had once gone
Question to Gaddafi: "What would you say to people that think you are a reckless dictator and a tyrant?" Gaddafi answer: "I forgive them, they were ignorant."
Every day, I cry for my continent African. We have everything to make us wealthy and happy but no good leadership. Where do we go wrong to deserve this suffering for so long? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Please my fellow Africans let's unite for a better Africa.
@Glyn it's because trump is dumb enough to talk about it. Obama was savy in that regards in staying quiet. While trump doesn't know how to shut up which causes people to pay attention at what he's talking about. The people in power don't like a flashlight at their cruelty.
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.
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.
I am from Russia, and I was crying at that time when your killed your best leader in such bad way. When he visited Russia he stayed in his tent, he even didn't want to waste your government money on his comfort. He took such care of his government and people. How you did not understand at that time that it was game of USA, that's how they are taking out the rullers who doesn't want to serve them.

@@chaminadecrew79 well, actually it was better, the turmoil and ruin caused by the revolutionaries backed by the US and it’s bootlickers was far greater than anything gadaffi could ever do, Libya is in shambles rn and that’s not on gadaffi, I’m not saying he was a saint, far from it, but he was a competent leader and in his rule Libya had the best HDI in Africa, don’t be fooled, what the US did was not in Libyans best interest, not by a stretch
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

@Scorer Scored And let it be known that before the West toppled Gaddafi's government, that Libya had this success of which you speak. It was prosperous, literate, and peaceful... Yet the international financial community would not tolerate Gaddafi's challenge to the petro dollar, and subsequently removed him. Thus Libya was plunged into chaos and ruin.
@Scorer Scored of course, because ISIS represents the whole of islam, like how KKK and spanish conquistadors represents the whole of Christianity. Isn't that right?
Remember when Shane smith kept talking about how gaddafi was a tyrannical dictator and got what he deserved? Seems like Libya was in better shape when he was still there
Just so you know housing in Libya was considered a right not a privilege therefore every adult male who wish to get married received a free house and if he wished to farm he would get a farming land, Libyans received percentage from the oil industry, gas prices were the lowest on earth, cars cheaper than any other country and all citizens are employed by the government. If I was Libyan and had to choose between a dictator with all the previous perks and democracy with distraction I would be on the front line chanting gaddafi’s name.
Abdul Rahman milad “Bija” the Libyan coast guard that was interviewed in this video has been assassinated yesterday 01/09/2024 may allah have mercy on his soul.
We really know why Libya was decentralized, look into the oil pipeline that many high ranking people wanted built through Libya right before the civil war
This is what happens when America intervenes in the affairs of foreign nations. The economy plummets, the country becomes destabilized, the Central Bank gets plundered for its gold reserves, the people die of starvation, violence and sickness. The list goes on. Please let countries deal with their own issues instead of invading under "humanitarian" pretences. Along with installing an America backed Government to line the pockets of those in control. Happened in Latin America.
@Gabe. Where are you from? You seem more informed than the average American I meet who thinks illegal immigrants to the US are Mexicans. In reality they come through Mexico from Central America to flee the violence in countries like Honduras. Banana Republic.

@@Omar_E11 You think Trump, Obama or Boris Johnson are not Dictators? You think they don't lie and deceive the people and do things without approval. Trust me these dictators never gave their people free houses, cash gifts upon marriage, upon women giving birth, subsidized food, bursaries for studying abroad and all the other help Gadaffi gave his people.
English Rose Gaddafi is not even comparable to people like Trump and Obama. You could still openly criticize Trump today and not have government officers come to murder you in your household. And as far as I know Obama didn’t support and fund Al Queda and countless other terrorist organizations as well as caused the Lockerbie bombings. I don’t think anyone you listed had a warrant out for their arrest by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. Gaddafi was a terrible person and yes he may have helped his people at some times but he is still generally a bad person. He is more comparable to people like Suddam and Kim Jong Un.

Sometimes necessary evil keeps a country together and a economically booming. Gaddafi was the beast that kept order and rooted out chaos. We should of not aided the rebels

She's carrying VICE news so hard. While her colleagues continue to write more ridiculous articles, she's off to the corners of the world reporting while risking her skin.
She sold her integrity to Murdoch who owns a part of VICE. Look at her extreme Syria coverage bias. America tried the same in Syria plus the rebranding of salafists. And created Al Qaeda in Afghanistan in the 80’s. Now they know and tolerate that the Saudi royal family funded 9/11, Hayat Tahrir al Sham in Syria, ISIS and Ansar Sharia in Yemen. If you know who acquired a large part of vice news, then you will be able to figure out why they won’t tell you the whole story about the situation in Syria. Assad or sharia, same as happened in Iraq after Saddam.
Next time you see the Usa shout bringing democracy and freedom step back and talk to your leaders. I`m sure gadaffi wasn`t perfect but I`m also sure if he was still there the situation wouldnt be like that. In essence he said it but people are very alienated to propaganda. Now suffer the consequence, lot of people if not all would have gadaffi back by now.
I went in 2008, the world was collapsing and in Libya it was hard to find any small packs of any goods, everything is sold in bulk, that is how the country was flourishing and rich! I remember i looked for a one kilo pack of sugar and another for rice and i could not find until i left, the least were 10 kilos packs!
In one video Gadaffi said that the West destroyed a peaceful country like Yugoslavia even thou we were not a threat( i am froma Croatia which was part od SFRY) and he said and i quote "how can we feel secure that this wont happen to us?" Yugoslavia was also a battle royale for years and now we are slaves of the Germans, French, English and Americans.
That, plus all the democratically elected leaders of South America that had socialist ideals - such as Allende of Chile that got replaced by Pinochet, as US puppet. Cuba's Castro is the only one that somehow managed to evade all assassination and coup attempts, so instead, Cuba is being punished passively with the trade embargo.
What happened to Libya also happened in this side of the world. I am from the Philippines. In 1986, the U$ kidnapped our President (Ferdinand Marcos) and his family and took them to Hawaii against their will. They instructed that they be taken to Ilocos in the North as it is President Marcos' stronghold - it is his hometown. During that time the fabricated People Power Revolution against President Marcos' was unfolding in the capital Manila. But the U$ and the CI@ had other plans and took the first family out of our country so their puppet Corazon Aquino would become the next President. We had to put up with all the next presidents who were U$' puppets for 36 years. We realized in recent years that President Marcos was the victim and that he was the best president we've ever had. Last May 9 - we successfully brought his son former senator BBM back to the palace and is scheduled to take his oath of office on June 30, 2022 as our 17th President. Regret comes after really. The people of Libya should unite and set aside their differences like what we did.

Libya under Gaddafi was a prosperous socialist country and now under capitalism forced on the Libyan people by the United States it is like the United States itself, an unlawful country where child starvation and killings are the norm. The main destination of Crude Petroleum exports from Libya are: Italy ($5.52B), Germany ($3.22B), Spain ($2.92B), China ($2.84B), and United States ($1.9B).
Not too long ago, u guys celebrated Ghadaffi's demise. This is the price for the Arab Spring movement. Civil wars, Refugees, economic loss, starvation, and unimaginable sadness.
Yes. Those Libyans who stayed home and those who fled the country were complicit in the capture and persecution of Colonel Qaddafi. They are just as guilty in my eyes. Perhaps they thought Qaddafi's regime was strong enough to withstand such a blow. What a heavy price to pay. They did not know that Qaddafi succeeded with all their support. Just because he ruled for 40 years does not mean he was keeping the power within his family. The people's support was the backbone for his success as a ruler. So the moment they took that power from him, their country collapsed. This is why the people are at fault. I am from the Philippines but now I understand why Imran Khan encouraged the Pakistani people young and old, women and children to come out to the streets to show support for a people's election and not to put up with whatever plan the foreign powers come up with. Imagine if the Libyan people did the same. Went out of their homes and did not flee the country. The rebels were a handful but the fucking media blew it out of proportion. Even if France sent the planes to haunt for Qaddafi, he should have felt safe to be around his own people. But he did not feel safe. Only if the people backed him up then, perhaps this tragedy would have been averted.

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,

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.

@@ashconoskoo6387 I never said they are better off now, what I am saying is this was inevitable. It was just meant to happen due to the style of governance Libya had. Gaddafi was the only person that could have avoid it, and only by having a sane governance model. But he it's impossible for him to achieve that, he was simply incompetent, no matter what you say or claim this dictator and most of the dictators the region had were simply not competent. They had medium to low education, mostly military, small general knowledge almost zero political experience and a huge inflated ego. You can't run a country even if it is as wealthy as Libya with no talent.

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..”

You are just a stingy and despicable person
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.

In one video Gadaffi said that the West destroyed a peaceful country like Yugoslavia even thou we were not a threat( i am froma Croatia which was part od SFRY) and he said and i quote "how can we feel secure that this wont happen to us?" Yugoslavia was also a battle royale for years and now we are slaves of the Germans, French, English and Americans.
That, plus all the democratically elected leaders of South America that had socialist ideals - such as Allende of Chile that got replaced by Pinochet, as US puppet.
Cuba's Castro is the only one that somehow managed to evade all assassination and coup attempts, so instead, Cuba is being punished passively with the trade embargo.
What happened to Libya also happened in this side of the world. I am from the Philippines. In 1986, the U$ kidnapped our President (Ferdinand Marcos) and his family and took them to Hawaii against their will. They instructed that they be taken to Ilocos in the North as it is President Marcos' stronghold - it is his hometown. During that time the fabricated People Power Revolution against President Marcos' was unfolding in the capital Manila. But the U$ and the CI@ had other plans and took the first family out of our country so their puppet Corazon Aquino would become the next President. We had to put up with all the next presidents who were U$' puppets for 36 years. We realized in recent years that President Marcos was the victim and that he was the best president we've ever had. Last May 9 - we successfully brought his son former senator BBM back to the palace and is scheduled to take his oath of office on June 30, 2022 as our 17th President. Regret comes after really. The people of Libya should unite and set aside their differences like what we did. There were 20,000 attempts to hack the electronic voting system last May 9 according to our national security advisor. The outside forces will always try to interfere with our country's affairs. But we are wiser now. NEVER AGAIN!

Not too long ago, u guys celebrated Ghadaffi's demise.
This is the price for the Arab Spring movement. Civil wars, Refugees, economic loss, starvation, and unimaginable sadness.
Yes. Those Libyans who stayed home and those who fled the country were complicit in the capture and persecution of Colonel Qaddafi. They are just as guilty in my eyes. Perhaps they thought Qaddafi's regime was strong enough to withstand such a blow. What a heavy price to pay. They did not know that Qaddafi succeeded with all their support. Just because he ruled for 40 years does not mean he was keeping the power within his family. The people's support was the backbone for his success as a ruler. So the moment they took that power from him, their country collapsed. This is why the people are at fault.
I am from the Philippines but now I understand why Imran Khan encouraged the Pakistani people young and old, women and children to come out to the streets to show support for a people's election and not to put up with whatever plan the foreign powers come up with. Imagine if the Libyan people did the same. Went out of their homes and did not flee the country. The rebels were a handful but the fucking media blew it out of proportion. Even if France sent the planes to haunt for Qaddafi, he should have felt safe to be around his own people. But he did not feel safe. Only if the people backed him up then, perhaps this tragedy would have been averted.
