      You may want to consider renaming the video either ‘Why Does Libya Remain Divided?’ or ‘Why Libya Remains Divided’; the current title ‘Why Libya Remains Divided?’ isn’t grammatically correct.
      While I normally don’t fuss about such things (and I suspect English isn’t your first language, goodness knows I’m far worse in my second language), the title may cause native English speakers like myself to subconsciously skip over the video because they may associate incorrect grammar with poor analysis or content churns!
      I know _I_ was initially hesitant to check out your channel (CZcams recommended me your Russian economy video) for fear that you were another RealLifeLore geopolitics-adjacent-tube wannabe, there’s a lot of channels in this space and I think the little touches do help! btw, I have been impressed with your animations and maps; your explanations are generally quite clear and the visuals do help :)

      ​​​@@sidp5381while I'm sure Washington didn't miss Gaddafi one bit, I'll be very clear - Gaddafi has made an enemy out of everyone. His neighbors, all the major world powers, and also his own people.
      I'm not denying how Libya under Gaddafi was moderately prosperous. I'm here to make a case that Gaddafi lived as a man who wholly bought into the idea of his own greatness, lived in excess in how he conducted his politics at home and abroad, and that delusion of grandeur is what killed him. Libyans had enough of political repression and sham democracy, and nobody overseas would miss Gaddafi if he were to die. And thus Gaddafi died like a manged mongrel.
      I'm not saying it was rightful for him to die from a lynching - anything but. He should've had a free and fair tribunal. I'm just describing history as it happened, and how Gaddafi engineered his own grand life and downfall.
      Gaddafi's foremost priority in life isn't the prosperity of Libyans. It was to fulfill his self image of omnipotence. What investments he made for Libyans, are incomparable to the luxuries he afforded for himself, and the resources he invested in his many global crusades. War against Chad, against the UK, against Israel, and more fundamentally, against established International Rule of Law. Gaddafi wanted to reshape the world to his image, and that hubris killed him.

    Thank you for discussing my country's situation. The downfall of Gaddafi, particularly after he sought alignment with the West, is a crucial, yet under explored factor influencing the dynamics in the Arab world and why their governments are apprehensive about hurting Russia. Leaders from Sisi to those in Saudi Arabia view the West with more skepticism, considering its inconsistent role as a power guarantor. This is especially evident when juxtaposed with Russia's unwavering support for Syria's Bashar.

      Thank you for your perspective. I think Libya was also the moment when America lost faith in “the West”-i.e. that our alignment with the old NATO powers was anything more than a burden or charity case. Obama felt suckered in by Sarkozy and Cameron to “lead from behind” in an intervention against a dictator in their neighborhood, only to discover the French and British militaries couldn’t sustain a limited bombing campaign for more than a few days without massive American resupply. This led directly to his rejecting involvement in Syria or Ukraine. I.e., if Putin wants to lord over these basket cases, fine; America can pivot to the far more lucrative and dynamic waters of East Asia.
      Trump basically took the same line, in a different register. While Iraq was the original sin, I think it’s Europe’s utter weakness and incoherence-not to mention economic stagnation-that’s entrenched instability across the Arab world and beyond. At the end of the Cold War, 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹 were all serious military powers who could provide an alternative, semi-independent pole of Western leadership. Now, as confirmed by the Biden era, they are helpless vassals who need to toe Washington’s line (e.g. on China) if they expect any further protection.

    I have heard rumors on why Gadaffis was overthrown in support by France. France maintains a post-colonial presence that controls half of the central money reserves in the French treasury with the CFA Franc of Sub-Sahara Africa in West and Central Africa countries. French companies get preferential treatment of resource extraction and businesses. France is believed to have wanted Libya's oil and the fear of the decline in Sub-Sahara Africa with Gadaffis Pan-Africanism. Gadaffis may have wanted to use the his oil money to purchase gold and expel the CFA Franc . This could in theory lead could have led to the decline and possible loss of the French presence in Africa.

      The 'they want the oil' theory is one of the most common heard theories when trying to explain conflicts. But oil isn't that important a resource. There is plenty of oil all around the world. Literally every continent (except Antarctica) has oil, it's not a scarce resource, and oil is readily available on the global market at the daily market price. There is as little reason to wage war over oil as there is to wage war over iron ore.
      People said the Gulf War, the Iraq War and The Syrian War were all about oil, but nobody ended up taking the oil, or even attempted to take the oil. Whether it's the US, or Russia, or China, or the EU, everybody is quite happy to just buy oil from whoever is willing to sell it.

    The intervention was not "NATO", it was Britain (Cameron), France (Sarkozy) and, rather belatedly but with a very enthusiastic Hillary Clinton at the helm (what would later get her the nickname "Killary"), the USA. Italy and Germany very especially opposed the intervention. Italy, which had been cultivating Gaddafi for a long time already, especially under Berlusconi, saw in fact their oil assets transferred to France and Britain as result, Germany was not in the mood either for whatever their own reasons. Broadly speaking it was a neocolonial intervention against Italian interests... but also about Gaddafi's plan to create a gold currency for Africa, which could have caused troubles to USD and FCA franc hegemony.

      Sadly it was quite biased, for example no mention of how easily ''humanist'' and ''democratic'' west justifies supporting warlords, dictators, kings or princes if their interests demand it! Tobruk government was killing and destroying Libyan people elected government for years with foreign support like Sudanese, Egyptian and Russian mercenaries and weapons. And no western country did a damn thing to stop it, some of them were even openly supporting warlord haftar like France even if Russia also has been supporting Tobruk. Then when Turkey finally intervened and saved a democratically elected government, also finally enforcing a ceasefire after years of fighting suddenly it became ''a huge problem'' and some western countries even tried to block Turkish support to UN recognized GNA government like what the actual fuck?! If French and German navy didn't back down Turkish frigates were literally open fire on them especially in the case of German piracy, they had no right to stop a Turkish ship in international waters and search it illegally. Some might claim it is too aggressive but Turkey has every right to target pirates regardless what flag they are flying..
      It is just a ridiculous joke that Turkey needs Libya to back it's claims in Mediterranean, it is not at all. Turkey didn't sign UNCLOS and it is not binding between Greece and Turkey while UNCLOS wasn't the only UN sea laws convention rather there were more of them before which were signed by both Turkey and Greece. So those previous conventions are binding and Turkey can literally ignore all Greek islands even in Aegean not just Mediterranean 100% according to international laws while only has to leave 12 nmiles EEZ for the islands. Also there is absolutely NOTHING found yet in the disputed area so claiming it was for ''billions of dollars'' is just nothing but another laughable claim! Turkey can not and will not allow Greece to use tiny islands that you need magnifying glass to see on a map and with only few hundred population to reduce EEZ of 80 million people regardless there are resources or not. It is also exactly same in the entire world, for example British islands next to France have both reduced territorial waters and EEZ, French islands next to Canada have reduced EEZ, Finnish islands next to Sweden have both reduced waters and EEZ, Spanish islands next to Morocco have both reduced waters and EEZ. But only God knows how exactly Greek islands next to Turkey must have full 12 miles territorial waters and full 200 nmiles EEZ, right?! They will need a war and also a victory to achive it for sure.
      The fighting in Libya didn't stop because GNA forces couldn't defeat haftar forces, again completely false information. It stopped because russkies sent two squadrons into Libya, actual fucking russian air force! It created a dilemma for GNA side as they had no air force to speak off and Turkey could send some F-16s to Libya but Libyan bases were in terrible shape and Libya is too far away for air refueling operations. Those russian squadrons could not target Turkish forces but they could shoot down Turkish drones and freely bomb GNA forces while russkies could also send more of them. It is often overlooked in the west for obvious reasons but Turkish backed GNA killed HUNDREDS of wagner mercenaries in Libya and they were willing to further increase their presence. So instead of escalating the war sides signed a ceasefire agreement under Turkish and russky supervision..
