Libya’s Revolution Is in Ruins

48

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.

VICE News’ Isobel Yeung travels across Libya to see how the Libyan revolution is failing.

  1. This revolution lost any and all meaning when the “revolutionaries” colluded with foreign powers in US, UK and NATO. Rip Gaddafi, we dont value what we have until its gone.

  2. You killed the man that protect his country for the invader and the media of fog. You all blinded by lies. And you will be suffer for it. Ghadafi protected his own people and his final words is. (What did I do to you) RIP. President 🇱🇾

    Poor JFK. RIP.✝️

  4. Everyone gets what he deserves. The Libyans were stupid enough to listen to western propaganda and turn against one of the greatest leaders of Africa ever. When the NATO forces destroyed the biggest irrigation system for free water AND the factory producing the pipes – they showed clearly that their mission was against the population not for freeing them. Gaddafi was just about the launch the new African currency gold and silver based and making the African union independent, ending the Neo-colonialism.

  5. 3:15 sir the united states of America itself is not to blame. The US government are just puppets. Find out who their puppet masters are and the picture will be much more clear then.

  6. Central bank of Libya. Lol can anyone tell me what and who a central bank is. Exactly what ghadafi wanted out from, The evil corrupt bankers that started all this mess centuries ago. All for power and control in the name of the one they worship.

  7. The guy is like America and their masters toppled ghadafi and now our country is in shambles. Then the vice channel lol who are as corrupt as their masters are like yea we know lol corrupt ass world lol its gonna be funny when all these demons meet our maker.

  8. Americans don’t have free education, electricity, or healthcare. Yet, Libyans, having all of this, turned on their own. And for what? Don’t blame the west, blame yourselves, your own blindness, and your ability to be misled. Libya could have been the glue that united the whole continent, instead it is just more of the same.

  9. USA has so much blood on their hands it’s disgusting. I wish that globally people understand that American citizens do NOT support what our government has done to other nations. I hate what happened to Gaddafi 😢

  10. I'm East African but my heart feels so much sorrow and anger at the same time remembering what was done to Gadaffi after everything he did for his country. As Africans we truly lost a great leader and a great man.

  11. Cry for Gaddafi 😢, sometimes I think us Muslims are too stupid and corrupt. A Libiya under Gaddafi was prosperous now its a shambles. Israel, America and Britain are laughing at you whilst you cry.

  12. Man who built lakes in the desert!

    Man, who turned Libya into a living heaven!

    Now, all Libyans fooled by the biased media are begging for their lives, food and water!

    They were misled, which made them too greedy to want more!

    Dear Gaddafi, you were too good for them!!!!

  13. They say their govt is corrupt and the want a free Lybia but their entire culture is rotten. No government they can hope to have will not be corrupt. The leader before Gaddafi only enriched his own tribe. Gaddafi in his time was a raping murdering mad man who sponsored terrorist attacks across europe. Now they are a failed state. I am very sad for the small children who are unfortunate to be born in Lybia and places like it.
