- 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.

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.

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.

i have an old camry, boy that car have gone ten thousand of miles since the last oil changes and nothing happened

Really? What about Putinler invading Ukraine?
@@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 🤔?
not just in Libya

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..”

You never realized what you had untill you don't have it anymore
3:22 ستندمون يوم لا ينفع الندم
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.

@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?
@Scorer Scored No.. He clearly said they had bad people
@de Constantinople will be Christian again and islam will be put in its place.
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!
Great journalism
notice how they conveniently forgot to mention the reason why the Libyan government fell
Because the Arab Spring, the mismanagement of the economy, and the regime's smart idea to train militias.
@@Seth9809 How about EU and US bombs there?
@Glyn I am a communist, I think that all of them should be in prison, Trump, Obama, and Iranian guy also.
@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.

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?
It's hard to feel sorry for Libyans, they didn't know what they had.

@@tubirrr4569 oh my bad... they dont care it's all about rrs and material gain.. I'm American but this libya thing ruined Obama for me it doesnt matter whose in office demoncrat or republiklan
I remembered back in 2011 or so, a quite day and i were having lunch, and on our news channel they announced that america and some western countries has decided to conducted airstrikes to aid the rebel faction "aka the democratic faction" for their struggle against Gaddafi. And at that moment, i already knew that the Gaddafi GOV will collapse sooner or later, and the situation in Lybia would only get worse.
It feel kinna weird when i think about that moment,and after years of civil war, things hanst change in Lybia
And for a long time I (along with many) thought the United States was a beacon of peace and prosperity and standing up to injustice all over the world but now I know that

Can you explain, i didn't get it please.
@@leandroantonio9128 Isis and other terror groups use Toyota trucks/SUVs.
Sugoi if you watch anime is Japanese for "Amazing or Awesome" and Isis used alot of Toyota trucks in Libya, Syria and Western Iraq during the fabricated civil uprisings known as the Arab spring...
@@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.

"We have everything, but bad people". This is the most accurate explanation you'll hear.

This journalist is so brave to go out to the most dangerous places to do reporting based on facts. She deserves recognition. Dear you are doing a fine job rather most dangerous and risking job. May God protect you in your journeys in those dangerous environments.
Isobel Yeung is one of the best reporters on vice I think at the moment, all the documentaries are powerful
You read my mind and of the beautiful journalist ever
No, not at all. She doing it for money
@Ezra Lusk Were you expecting her to do it for charity? What do you do for a living? Charity? Even a great jounalist needs income. She has pursued her dream and you can tell that she loves her job. I will even bet, she gets less than half of what she is worth.
@@abuputinal-moskowi6146 of course she does it for money do you think im going to work without getting paid the diferrence is my job is not dangerous boring sometimes but atleast im safe. The money doenst matter if im gonna die in a dangerous place.
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
I guess this kind of people deserve a ruthless murdering thug for a leader.such barbaric and violent human beings.
was he better? maybe. certainly wasn't all good times with him around either though, people act as though he was a god amongst men these days.
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.

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.
