I TESTIFY TO THE ABOVE. I spent 3 month in Libya in 2003, the experience was unforgettable.  I wonder what went wrong with him.

If these are all true, why would Libyans still want him to withdraw. Am I missing something here. I haven't seen anywhere in the world that has such benefits. Can someone tell me if this really true.

If these are true, believe me most embassies in Nigeria will be looking for marketing manager to market their visa

Gaddafi's human rights record is terrible.

You can't claim to love a people collectively, but hate a good number individually (i.e. those that disagreed with him). Gaddafi crushed any dissenting voice ruthlessly and was happy to turn Libya into his family's kingdom, grooming his son to take over.

No matter how many carrots you give them, history has shown that people do not put up with that kind of oppression forever.

I commend him for his socialist policies, they are certainly better than the Nigerian leadership who seemed to just appropriate the nation's wealth for themselves without improving the lot of the people.

However, we are not comparing like with like. Nigeria's population is about 20 times that of Libya, while our GDP is only about 3 times that of Libya. There's a LOT more money to share round in Libya. That's not excusing the incompetence of the Nigerian leaders though.

Though i have never been to libya before, but i have friends not i, 2 ,3 4 or 5,  i have more than 10 friends that confirm what the poster said,  libya was a nanny state it gave its citizens good lifee, liberty, justice and equallity. the reason the imperialist got rid of gadaffi is simple. OIL and his relentless pan-africanism

In 1992, 45 African nations formed RASCOM (Regional African Satellite Communication Organisation) aimed at bringing down the cost of communications in the continent. Africa was paying some US$ 500 million a year as satellite fees to French and other European companies, and the call charges in the continent were the highest in the world. RASCOM had a plan to launch its own African satellite. The project would cost US$ 400 million. For 14 years, they went behind the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and other donors. These imperialist-run institutions made borrowing difficult by placing tough conditions, unperturbed, the comrade offered US$ 300 million of his country's money. My Question to Anti-Gadaffi people on this thread is . Do you think if the only thing libya produces is lectuse and brocholi, do you think the NATO will invade libya? without going into much detail, try and google the gold dinar and african oil or perhap read this linked article "http://www.goldstockbull.com/articles/libya-invasion-gaddafi-plan-gold-dinar"

Gadaffi throughout his leadership have been against occupation of any sorts,  yes, he did supported the mandela campaign for freedom against the europeans, he was there for the IRA same as the USA, he was there for the black sudanese ,  he was also there for other oppressed people in the world.

Though its been documented that the great man was ousted because his people no longer needed him there, just 1% of his people dont want him againt the 99% that want him,unfortunately the NATO and the impreialist saw that ,  together with their media propaganda the end was near for the great man. As at oct 22, the obama administration rating is just a mere 42%, that means 50% of the american people dont wwant him, moreso, David Cameron's personal rating is now in negative territory While 42% say he is doing a good job, 47% say bad. with this statistics, does that means NATO should now invade and kill this head of states?

Gadaffi is no saint, during his reign,  some people did died,  directly or indirectly mostly radical islamic fundamentalist and he was supported by the west in taking care of this radical islamist. Nobody have killed thier citizens more than Geroge Bush and tony blair for sending the american and british innocent souls to an illegal war but you never read about this evil tyrants. Gsdaffi was called a dictator, tyrant, mad dog etc,  yet, the likes of Prince charles, tony blair, gorden brown, nicolas sackozy, belusconi, obama , hillary clinton and other western diplomats shook his hand, dined and wined with him within the last 3 years of his life,  what has change within now and then?

we have seen the asssinations of progressive african leaders from patrice lumumba to savimbi to mugabe and now gadaffi. isnt it time africans open their eyes and see the evil the white imperialist are and their determination to invade, enslave the people of africa,  the modis operandi is always the same, character assasinate them b4 u let his people finish the job.

Libyans seek democracy, i give them 42 months , lets wait and see.
