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.

shane started it and isobel ended it.
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.
9:21 – Slipper Warriors
Imagine casually fighting in a war zone wearing flip flops carrying multiple automatic weapons.
6:56 – This guy is the epitome of contradictions.
6:52 – ''No smoking or naked lights''
5:26 – The guy has a percentage on the saftey levels. What is that even supposed to mean?
Was what he said lost in translation?
2:58 – If you want change, start by changing yourself. Forget your fairy tales and grow up.
1:18 – Have your prayers been answered, son?
Heartbreaking.
And all this due to the corrupt west who destroyed infrastructure the dream of a genius, Gaddafi
It's hard to feel sorry for Libyans, they didn't know what they had.
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 🇱🇾
Oil either makes you rich slave with peace or poor free man with chaos.
Thanks
News nice
3:23 at least they know they messed up Gaddafi tried to warn them
When did America bring happiness to middle East and Africa? People need to understand that America is the real evil and threat to this world.
Isobel and her team do an amazing job.. such courage and professionalism.
Now you have your democracy, you uneducated people, today Libya is worse than before and you are doing much worse, democracy, democracy, democracy🤣😂😅
Libiyan's it self ruined the country.

Poor JFK. RIP.✝️
They along with the infidels killed their dear father Gaddafi and are experiencing hell.
she is so cute and hot at same time
None of this would've been inherited had the Brother Leader not been deceived.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The west played Libys.
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.
1:22 😂back to Libya 😂
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.
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.
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.
See that white guy running Libya now no color to his skin America is white washing the world
Now watch America put a government there people need to wake up because things are getting real fast🙏🏾
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.
There was no Libian revolution.. there was cruel and stupid attack on Libia by the west that had and still has very stupid and malignant lidership..
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 😢
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.
So they destroyed their own oil production and then they complain that it's the fault of the US?
You really can't fix stupid.
after killing GADAFI they want a new libya
America is dertoyed libya
I think you are now reaping what you sow ( you kill your president and now you are feeling the agony, your grumbling have no value)
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.
Now in 2o24 libya is better than befor
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!!!!
This is why you shouldn't trust Westerns gov…. They take Down Gadaffi and give Libya worsted 😅. 😢
U.S.A. must charged now
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.
