Mindblowing Pictures Of Libya Before And After 2011

Before 2011, Libya used to be a beautiful place in Africa. One might say that it had the highest standards of living in the entire continent. Nevertheless, in 2011, a sudden outburst of opposition to the government led to the decision that Libya had to be destroyed. A coalition of more than 12 countries and NATO wiped the regime off the map and installed their own UN-backed regime.

Initially, in March 2011, the attack on Libya was committed by a coalition of the US, UK, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Spain, Qatar, Norway, and Italy. It was then expanded to encompass Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, the Netherlands, Romania, Jordan, Sweden, and the United Arab Emirates. 19 different countries and the NATO alliance together decided to annihilate the sovereign state of Libya at the request of the powers which truly pull strings in these countries.

Libya was destroyed because Muammar Gaddafi boldly called out Saudi Arabia, the United States, Israel, and he desired to establish a gold-backed currency called the Dinar for the African continent to potentially latch onto as a defense against the hegemony of the petrodollar.

People knew that Libya was destroyed because of the disagreements between the NATO side and Libya. However, for those who need more solid evidence, several years ago declassified emails proved that NATO took out Gaddafi mainly to stop the creation of that gold backed currency.

In its full perspective, the move to take out Gaddafi was undoubtedly for various reasons which would benefit the different countries and powers that participated, from Norway to the UK and from Qatar to France. The events in Libya could have precipitated the formation of ISIS and foundation of things which would culminate in the Syrian "civil" war. It is thought that weapons and stuff like that flowed from Libya to ISIS.

As with the Arab Spring as well as other supposedly organic protests, people suspect the February 18, 2011 starting of the Libyan “civil” war also got heated as several people in high places wanted this to happen. For more information on that, you could read through these 54 pages of declassified info.

These pictures put it in perspective. Libya used to be an absolute oasis, a paradise in the middle of the desert. However, now it's sadly the site of terrorism, human trafficking, and so much worse.

Here's what Libya once was:

Today, the West pretends to ignore that its brutal military intervention in Libya is responsible for the appearance of militia groups in the region, varying from Salaf, Takfiri, and Al Qaeda to ISIS. It is so apparent, however, that even mainstream media is forced to recognize it.

Nowadays things occur in Libya that never would've been possible before. Dark haired Libyans appear to be mainly targeted by murderous terrorists, while “ethnic cleansing” campaigns against them are worsening.

African men, as well as women, are being sold into slavery, adults and kids alike are being kidnapped and sold into slavery, and because the military action against Gaddafi was a big mistake, nobody wants to talk about it.

An article by a Norwegian anti-war author noted the extent to which Norway participated in the destruction of Libya. It was quite intense. 588 bombs were dropped in total onto Libya by the military of Norway. In total, tens of thousands of civilians were killed.

Nevertheless, before all the destruction, Libya was the wealthiest state in Africa. While it is true that they had a socialist type of system, it might have been the most positive of its kind the world had ever seen. Free health care was provided to people, and the definition of medicine was not exclusive to pharmaceutical, but it included knowledge of nutrition and true human health.

Education that did not fail to recognize the faults of Western society was provided for free, and for more than 40 years before 2011 Libya was in a state of peace. Women participated in the education system of Libya and the military, unlike how it is in the country of US ally Saudi Arabia where women were only recently, finally permitted to operate motor vehicles.

So, who hated those features of Libya? Not only the West but the terrorists that now occupy Libya. They despised the freedom and culture of Libya for many years until the friends of Saudi Arabia finally ousted Gaddafi from power.

About all Libyan families could afford a car and gas in the country before 2011, and loans were offered to citizens free of interest.

The highest life expectancy rate in all of Africa, 78 years, with a kid mortality rate of 20/1000 infants born was how Libya functioned before 2011.

The literacy rate of Libya was also incredibly high relative to other countries. One survey suggested that 82 percent of Libyans could read and write, and according to the CIA, if you honestly consider them a trustworthy source, the literacy rate could have been as high as 94 percent.

A bit of Libyan history can be learned from a report from Norway about what happened to the country, translated into English:

“The country had cleared up the Lockerbie scandal and opened it before then closed the country to the West. It was Saif al-Islam, Gaddafi’s son, who became instrumental in resolving the Lockerbie case where significant compensation payments were paid to victims’ families. It was also under the leadership of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi that the military was built down, dismantling the nuclear weapons program and privatizing the economy to approach the West and end the hostile relationship.”

Indeed, long before 2011, the government of Libya fully cooperated with the Western attempts to destroy Sunni Muslim terrorist groups including Al Qaeda. Gaddafi has even been referred to as the “great enemy of Al Qaeda,” and they tried to take his life several times.

Libya has been a multi-ethnic state for a long time, with different ethnic groups bearing darker skin than the rest. Today, the terrorists who have gained control of the area due to US and NATO efforts are killing the groups of people with darker skin and forcing men and women into slavery.

This is what Libya looks like now, including the victims of human trafficking that were caught in the crossfire there: a living hell.

Today, a much different regime occupies Libya. It is a regime openly put in place by the UN, and soon they are going to have an “election” as if that actually matters. Whatever the UN-backed regime is and serves to do, their priority mustn't be stopping the booming human trafficking nightmare that now occupies the country.

The new Libya is a place you do not want to be. Since the UN took control, not only is human trafficking rampant but things happen like this.

In May 2018, around seven people were killed by a car bomb in Benghazi, Libya. Four Libyan soldiers were killed by landmines in Libya’s Darna region. This is Libya today, and Libya was nothing like this ten years ago.
