Three years after the Libyan revolution and the subsequent downfall of its dictator Muammar Qaddafi, the country has descended further into chaos and insecurity. Rebel militias, radical Islamists and former Qaddafi commander Khalifa Haftar are among the different groups vying for power and oil wealth, creating a vacuum in which violence and militancy reign supreme.
VICE News filmmaker Medyan Dairieh was in Libya in 2011 to witness the revolution. This year, he returned to follow members of the 17th February battalion, a rebel group fighting against Haftar’s forces. Dairieh witnessed first-hand how life after the Libyan revolution has devolved into lawlessness and Islamic State-linked extremism.

I lived in libya for 8 years during Qaddafi's rule.. Libya was so much more stable and peaceful.
I actually miss living there.
+Jim Nguyen gaddafi was changing the currency from the France franc to gold. Libya would of been self sufficient
+Feras Kai i lived there for 3.5 years, sure i was just a kid (8-10 years old) but even i could see that it was peaceful. What i could see is that there was a lot of respect for qaddafi, not even forced respect. I lived in a small town Djmel next to Zwara, maybe it was that particular area that was fond of him, but i have been to tripoli, sbrata and others where i have witnessed same thing as you.
+Jim Nguyen millions of US citizens would gladly overthrow Obama if they could. The fact that a leader has an opposition does not prove him wrong. Man, this is like basic stuff
+Jandzi Lorber Yes they have everything they need peace and commodities sad that the citizen doesn't have a say to what is going to happen to them, a capitalist country full of coca-cola, KFC & mcdonald. if you shove away the dollar as a main oil exchange currency you gonna take the heat.
+Jim Nguyen Jim these organised protests of the west are lies you pleb...Gadaffi was loved by his people but the bankers hated him because his people lived debt free...that's why nato funded rebels to fuck the place up
Libya - we are the largest producer of oil in Africa.
US - U want some freedom?
This is what us is.
@@firstbazzers9158 united states
😂😂
Freedom and Democracy my a$$!
This is what happens when you overthrow a leader that made Libya once a greatest country in Africa.
+Jim Nguyen That is bullshit America is behind all of this because Libya was getting too powerful for them to manipulate, and they wanted cheaper oil, they started a conflict on behalf of the American companies drilling oil in their land.
I can't take you seriously if you are going to spell the word "ass" with two dollars signs! Really??!!
+Nick Bowden Bet that was on purpose in rebuttal to cheap dollar oil
+Nick Bowden take a hint lol.
Jose5718 NATO did not kill Gaddafi they were only enforcing UN resolution 1973.
You killed your leader, sold your oil and still left empty handed with failing state and fighting rebel factions tearing down what's left from the civil war 😂😂😂
It's your fault Libyan people
There is another one who doesn't read...or just plain ignorant...going extinct like dinosaurs 🤔
Thats what they deserve damm traitors
A world without NATO is a paradise.
Thats how stupid they are. They traded their own for cheap. Lol sad
my grandmother lived in Libya and all she ever had to say about Qaddafi at that time was that he was one of the most amazing leaders ever with an amazing ideology and that he was the cause of development in Libya. she was so sad on his death.
As a muslim in Malaysia, we also sad with the ungrateful and disgrace attitude of these rebelation. Now they enjoy the freedom that they look for.
@@authahmad3737 i am a libyan and i can tell you the majority of Libyans were for Qathafi, about 25% of the population or less were against him and only few of them were against him for the right reasons. the rebels were backed up by Nato and other puppet Arab states. The west hates strong independent countries that do not need them or beg for their aids. The westren people might be one of the kindest but their governments are one of the cruelest.
Libyan people had brings shame by listening lies from the West shame on you
Gaddafi was the only person who changes life's the Libyan people may his soul rest in peace in heaven
@@thapelomosesmohapi4830 10:55 When a girl is saying she wants to live under God's Sharia, that's what she wants for her country. Nobody in the West is gonna say, "Yeah! Bring Sharia Law!" besides hardcore zealous Muslims. They did it to themselves. Gaddafi thought his people loved him, but I guess half of his country didn't see it that way. Libya was just apart of that Arab Spring in the early 2010s
look at what NATO and AMERICA done in this country.
jonathan recto NATO did not kill Gaddafi they were only enforcing UN resolution 1973.
NATO bombed Gaddafi's convoy as he tried to escape to Tripoli leading to his eventual Rape and death by Rebels.

The Showdown
I like to call it "truthing" not trolling.
well they did it themselfs stop acusing other people plus gadafi was a fucking terrorist
so basically libya is going to be next afghanistan ..
europe did worst mistake by killing gaddafi...
You mean some european contries and the USA. Germany did not participate in Libya.
ya , germany is nice ( at least in compare with UK or USA ..) no bad feeling toward germany or northern countries ( norway , sweden ... )
they are basically better than most of countries in world . .
Yeah, but i'm afraid about the future curse of Germany....the zionists have taken place from it.
Actually I'm glad they bring down gaddafi. Gaddafi was a good leader, but the fact he finance those communist section in the world piss me off. If they dint bring down gaddafi you could even see communist party still fighting in your country now. But still libya still tucked up. Then those rebels are idiot too. (*face palm)
Was not a mistake...
Under Gaddafi - Libya, one of the safest african countries, developing tourism, free scholarship abroad and at home, free healthcare, excellent trade, you get an apartment and a car after you marry, you get few thousand dollars for every child you make...Prices of oil comically low. ONE AUTOCRATIC LEADER WHO HATES WEST - ITS A BAD COUNTRY
After ''liberation'' - A failed country, best compared to Somalia in 1991-2014, Libya, a country torn apart by at least 5 known factions (and each of those factions in fact a confederacy of dozens of smaller factions), you can't travel from city to city without passing dozens of checkpoints armed by corrupt ''fighters'' belonging to who knows what ''brigade''...People getting killed every day, sharia in some parts of country, tourism killed in its infancy...Most of damage from civil war still not repaired...HEY, ITS DEMOCRACY NOW AND THEY ARE FRIENDS WITH WEST, NOW THEY ARE OKAY.
I doubt that any Western media go to say something about
+misteraxl1 the bald white guy 1:17 made sure libya will not have free education, healthcare or education for a very long itme.
Why are there so many people saying he treated his people like shit and ruled his country by rifle? Which is true.. Was he bad or good?lol
+Tisyn Watts Do you really need an answer? Look at Libyans now, the true is clear: Libya was far better under Jamahiriya. It is fact that NATO intervensionism is really damaging and harmful.
Tisyn Watts
because it is necessary to fabricate bullshit about the country you plan to invade. it is good for the morale of the troops and reduces rebellion at home.
Rest in Peace Muammar Gaddafi

lol Libya is messed up for real after Gaddafi, this was what the west wanted, where is the west now?

I'm not sure how the conditions in Libya during the Gadaffi era were, but my father is an Arabic graduate from Libya. He often talks about the conditions in Libya during the Gaddafi era. Everything is guaranteed, even for my father, as an international student who studies there, he gets guaranteed apartments, pocket money and full scholarships.
I hope our brothers in Libya can live as normal again
God willing
They had the chance and they killed it with gaddafi now they pay it everyday with war people like this dont deserve anything good just war and kill each other
Libyans deserve everything that's happening to them, they're a bunch of barbaric traitors.

@@politicaltalks1880 the rebels were useful idiots supported by NATO and helped by the US devilish media.
@@yacine.3_2023 coz U.S.A promised them money that's y they killed Gaddafi
@@politicaltalks1880 the people of libya loved him. Not the rebels who were cia funded and trained
Libya was on the top 10 richest GDP per capita before Gaddafi died.
Here are some facts while Gaddafi was alive:
- Education and medical treatment were free
- Newlyweds received U.S $50,000 from the government
- Libya had no external debt and had reserves of $150 billion most of which were frozen globally
- The price of petrol was $0,14 per litre
- Having a home was considered a human right
- Gender equality
- People had enough food
Libya After Gaddafi's Fall (2011-2023):
- Civil conflict and power vacuum after Gaddafi's overthrow.
- Deep fragmentation with competing governments and militias.
- Security challenges, proliferation of arms, and extremist groups.
- Humanitarian crisis, displacement, and human rights abuses.
- Economic struggles due to disrupted oil production.
Those achievements do not stand up
If you do not have the military to defend your constitution etc
All of you keep forgetting Gadhafi had secret prisons filled with political prisoners! Yes he did good things with the oil money, but if you had political ideas you were imprisoned and tortured.
@@someotherdudebetter to be imprisoned rather than fallen country
Gender equality in a Muslim country what a joke
It is a complete lie. Colonel Gaddafi was a good leader he always protected Africa and wanted to unite people!
He protected Libya against any threats and the country was strong and united. THEY killed a hero. And now the ghost of the great Colonel is all over Libya and not only there but he is even more frightening to some foreign countries who was deeply involved in the killing of the man who spoke the truth always. Gaddafi was in charge for 41 years. He was in fact a great leader, he loved his country above all even his own life he gave for his country. He spoke the truth in the UN and he told the lies and dirty games played by some world leaders. WMD's in Iraq? Chemical Weapons in Syria? One lie after another.
You all know who has WMD's and Chemical Weapons in this world. And you all know who dropped two nuclear-bombs to Nagasaki and Hiroshima. You all know how many people died there. Lost lives, lost future. Total destruction. And you all know who did not apologised yet about those two events, the biggest mass murders in the history of mankind. You all know your excuses are empty. You all know that you are all guilty. You all know that those who don't do anything to stop evil are also accomplices of evil. You all know it. The question is what do you do about it?
P.H. Hennin how can we stop usa and israel? how can we make a powerful country, more powerful than them? why are they so strong? why are the others their puppet? what do they have more than others?

kinda crazy how you can replace Qaddafi and Libya with Saddam and Iraq and the title would still be true.
It was sad how his life ended. No one should ever take that much pride and joy beaten someone to death.
As a Libyan I see no peace and rest for libya in the next decade, my family will sell every thing then we're going to Europe to resume our education and live in peace. Libya became a God forsaken hell hole.

Hey do these Libyan rebels consider themselves part of IS or have soldiers from IS fighting for them, i noticed IS flags and their calling for sharia law???
NoSikMaddNess Islam is peace, but all these al Q groups are trying to make us look bad and divide us and crap like that, all this sectarianism you heard about with Sunnis and Shias, it's just Al Q and IS and their linked groups trying to divide us and make us look bad, they are our enemies
doublekatana95 islam is retarded like all religion. Backwards and inhumane towards women.
doublekatana95 ok got ya, and i know which is why i asked.........................
Very sad. I would hate to be one of the Libyan Rebels who genuinely wanted freedom and democracy, only to have an anarchic state ruled by militias and nearing the path of theocracy as a reward for all my hard work and bravery.
Gaddafi is gone and now what? Some Revolution that turned out to be.
It's so sad but so true. The radical, violent groups always seem to thrive in power vacuums.
You think America didn't know while planning this out?
To that first man that was interviewed - "how does democracy feel now?" "was it any good?" "elections?" "how is it going with your elections" 😂
Its a video game country now
Qaddafi was far the best Leader Africa ever had, and thats why the killed him... He was literelly changing the world

Your documentary failed to mention that these rebel groups toppled the democratically elected Libyan government. The democratically elected parliament had to flee to Tobruk.
hope Libya will reach peace soon :( greetings from brother Muslim in indonesia, may god protect the libyan
It's hard to imagine peace ever coming to this region.
There was peace in Iraq and Afghanistan during the soviet area - and than the conflict occured. There are some beautiful pictures that can be seen of scantily clad women in Afghanistan, Iraq ETC, There are now few, this is what democracy looks like, I'm hopeful for Afghanistan (which is actually part of south asia) they have progressive leaning leaders. :D
***** The sovjets killed more than 1.000.000 Afghani. Saddam Hussein killed hundreds of thousands Iraqi's. He poisoned even the Kurds.
If you call that peace, okay.
The islam is currently in a very violent chapter. Just as the Christians were a few hundred years ago, the Christians were doing exactly the same stuff as the radical Islamist do today. Islam simply isn't as "evolved". But this chapter will end.
why not bruh That's a false comparison.
1. Christianity was persecuted the first 250 years of its existence. Islam attacked from its very beginning. Mohammed was a warlord. The disciples of Jesus never used violence.
2. The crusades were only a small answer to 460 years of islamic destruction of christian communities in Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Byzantium, Egypt, North Africa and South Europe.
3. Between 1550 and 1648 several religious wars were fought in Europe. But with the peace treaty of 1648 in Münster all these wars came to an end.
Shia and sunni are fighting each other since the death of Mohammed in 632. There seems no agreement possible.
It's not a matter of evolution. The problem lies in the core of islam itself. Mohammed was not a prophet, but a warlord. The koran ordains sentence after sentence war upon the infidel.
My prognosis is that islam will not evolve but disappear
***** Mohammed was a warlord (just like Gaddafi, Saddam Houssein, Bin Laden and so many others), not a prophet.
They deserve it, that what they get for listen to a country that have a back reputations in the middle east they didn't learn from Iraq or Afghanistan they want freedom now they have freedom but they are still not satisfied, gaddafi was a dictator but he made libya one of the richest countries in Africa they put false accusations on him, like america or European countries don't have weapons of mass destructions democracy doesn't always work now where is the help they promise.
And now America wants to do this to Iran. Look at the propaganda. So depressing.
Here you can see a true freedom and democracy
U got jokes
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that some 80% of Libyans probably very much miss the Qaddafi days right about now.
THANK YOU OBAMA
the fuck did Obama do? the rebels still would have won if we never helped.

In my opinion the other countries other than the U.S.A. that were involved did more than them.

You know that France and the UK called for intervention into Libya, right?

What is the song at 6:42 . Those lines are really powerful
Gaddafi was a very good man in his own right He never thought wrongly about his country
But the people thought wrong about him 😢
American-Israeli democracy.
@ 6:41 song?
A very one sided coverage of the story. Some good interviews, but we didn't hear what the other side's argument was.
The guy at 10:00 speaks the truth. Hes a legit libyan, the truth is, if the rebels truly had 80-90% support they wouldn't be fighting. But the fact is, that only because of US airstrikes was qaddafi defeated, there are actually still many qaddafi supporters in libya, that is why qaddafi's henchmen were able to take power. Also shows u how little the west knows about the middle east. Never would I have thought that the UAE and Egypt would support qaddafi.
Of course they had funding, but i'm willin to bet in Tripoli there are plenty of Qaddafi supporters, probably the middle class and the upper class who benefit from Qaddafi. They are silent but powerful.
I love VICE news ❤️. Just believe opposite of what they say and it’s actually pretty accurate and reliable.

Seeing that one guy in the Yankees shirt reminds you of something. Sometimes you see two different worlds, one where people at war fighting for democracy against tyrranical ologarchies with concentration of wealth, and the other a foreign country where people some times enjoy watching an American baseball game and cheering on their team. We forget that these worlds are the same.
Although I am a right winger I disagree with the right media's criticism of the president referring to ISIS as a non Muslim organization. These democratic fighters in Libya seem very religious and believe that, God willing, they will win. There is something distinctly different about these fighters, and those in the Afghan Iraq region. These areas need two distinct different policies of foreign aid and intervention. Much like desert storm and Iraqi freedom were two different campaigns, we can't clump "the middle east" together as one entity for us (USA) to deal with. That is the source of our disagreement in foreign policy.
These fighters aren't any different. There is no tyrannical oligarchy they were fighting against. The video is incredibly biased.
It failed to report that the February 17th group and the Dawn of Libya group, who were interviewed and who you think are freedom fighters, overthrew the PARLIAMENT. They didn't overthrow Haftar. They overthrew a democratically-elected parliament that was trying to stop these militias from creating fiefdoms.
The video failed to report how Sudan, Qatar, and Turkey were funding these "freedom fighters", and instead just reported how Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt support the parliament which is internationally recognized.
And the video simply calls Haftar a Gaddafi commander. Wtf. Haftar was sentenced to death by Gaddafi's regime in 1993. Haftar returned to Libya in April 2011 to help fight against Gaddafi.
And to add insult to injury, they never mentioned how Ansar al-Sharia killed that American Ambassador in Benghazi in 2012.
This is among the worst documentaries VICE has done.

Nixon Agesa I agree our government is horrible and we are lied to so much for our media most people believe that all of these countries are so terrible all for oil money dimonds and the military industrial complex to get their rocks off it's saddens me to say it but it's true and it infuriates me
What is what song that plays in his car?
10:30 spongebob in the background of the gathering paints an ominous juxtaposition of freedom and war
It truly breaks my heart seeing my country in the horrible state it is in, and has been in for years now. What these men are saying about how we think they are just "armed men" and they aren't.. sweeties what have you done? Years have passed and no change has been done. It angers me seeing my home being destroyed and knowing there is nothing i can do about it. I won't give up. Every day i will educate myself to come back and return my country to the best state it will ever be.
Why you killed gadafi then ?
Why you killed gaddafi? The only problem of ur country is amerika, wake up
THANKS AMERICA, THANKS OBAMA!!
I just finished watching the video titled "Libya 20years ago", you know how I feel??
Still no documentary about what happened on September 11 2012 in Libya
this is not what we had fought for...

lol Libya was a better nation when gadaffi ruled and now without gadaffi it is doomed to be in civil war in the next 20 years
Congratulations 🎊 democracy
RIP GADDAFI
what is the song at 6.49
Nobody does the news better than Vice.
9:55 "No one can rebuild a country with weapons, battles, death and blood." Well America did it and is now one of the richest and strongest superpowers in the world.
Killing people and using slaves is what made the usa.
Your country is nearly collapsing. You are just printing money like insane. Your states debts are growing and growing and the only thing preventing the collapse is you raising the Red Line of debts and printing more money.
Sorry bitch, America is broke!
utubewatchinhesk which part of "weapons, battles, death and blood." did you not get?
***** which shit hole country do you live in?
US job well done..
see gaddaffi helped build a nation.. he helped his people.. there was always retaliation from the other groups and he was quelling them which was and is and will be the way the middle east went on with there lives.. then y did the US quelled him wat made them enter.. simple gaddaffi had huge oil reserves and africas gold.. he wnted to and started to deal the oil in his owns countries currency while the whole world did it in US dollars.. have u heard of dinars.. wat happened to it.. So the US came in overthrew the govt sorry gaddaffi and wanted to post a puppet so that the dollars wont loose value.. US couldn't attack directly so they armed the so called rebels.. the rebels used the US with their help came out successful.. US then realized that the rebels were worse than gaddaffi and had no control over them and couldn't find a puppet.. Now tell me how did they help whom did they help.. Atleast Libyan people were doin good if left for themselves they would have been developed by now.. the same thing happened with saddam he dealt his oil in EUROS how do u think the euros or the dollars get the high value they have by software....
+Jim Nguyen To be honest yes Gaddafi was an evil dictator and yes we Libyan people failed to make Libya a better place. But that doesn't mean The US' s hands are clean, The US and European Governments are also responsible for the corruption of Libya, The Middle East, and other African nations in general. They don't want what's good for us, they only want what's good for them, they want their economy to grow larger.
For ruining the country..👏👏👏👏
Well done?? Really?? Sick please stop watching main stream media it's 90% lies Zionists using American sons and daughters as Cannon fodder
At 10:29, I never thought I would see the IS flag and spongebob in the same picture. The comic evil of that scene is too damn high!
I cant even put this to words...
Too much propaganda.
FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY .
lol
Name of song? 6:42 min
This is the kind of people Gadaffi are aware of thats why it needs an iron fist to discipline them. But some people judge him that Gadaffi punished this people in inhuman act of behavior.
To those claiming that things were better under Qaddafi, before this civil war... you are right. You are right that Libya had a great education system, oil production, and seemed very stabile (at least from the outside).
But this status quo was predicated on one condition, a condition that was similar to many other dictatorships in the Arab countries: that there would be no opposition to Gaddafi's rule. Gaddafi used to call his opponents "stray dogs" (what do you do with stray dogs? You shoot them in the street).
Well in 2011, significant opposition to Gaddafi emerged and Gaddafi met them with overwhelming violence. Not only that, but Gaddafi also released hundreds of radical prisoners, sometimes arming them to fight demonstrators. It is not surprising that the two countries that decided to wage war against demonstrators (Syria and Libya) have fared worst in the Arab Spring.
