No man, no matter how loved or hated, can win over 100% of his people. There is no perfection in this world. Now
that Gaddafi is dead, some Libyans are euphoric. But will it be long before they realise that they are still far from
what they expected to gain from this revolution, and perhaps look back to the past with some regret? Only time will tell.
Iraq and Afghanistan are 2 examples of outside interference but the people's lives have not improved over the years.
There is still no peace and stability in these countries.
Amazing facts......The Gaddafi they are not telling us about
someone in US wrote this :
The media has successfully painted Gaddafi as a hard-core dictator, tyrant whatever you want to call him. However, the
media as usual has also failed to show the kind, giving Gaddafi we never heard of. Gaddafi unlike most dictators I will
refrain from naming them has managed to show his humane side, the very side we dream of seeing in other dictators who just
talk and talk.
I consider Libyans lucky to a certain extent and one wonders with the new democratic rule they cry for will it improve or
worsen life for them. Yes, Gaddafi has spent millions of Libya`s money on personal ventures but is the average Libyan
poor? We know others who take a country and destroy it until you feel like there is no hope of restoring this country
looting some prefer to call it. Did Gaddafi loot Libya in any way?
Now let us get to the unknown facts about the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi:
1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its
citizens.
2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans
given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.
3. Home considered a human right in Libya Gaddafi vowed that his parents
would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafis
father has died while him, his wife and his mother are still living in
a tent.
4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000) by the
government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.
5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only
25% of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%.
6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive
farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to
kick-start their farms all for free.
7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in
Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it not only free but
they get US$2,300/mth accommodation and car allowance.
8 . In Libyan, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of
the price.
9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter.
10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion
- - now frozen globally.
11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state
would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is
employed until employment is found.
12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank
accounts of all Libyan citizens.
13 . A mother who gave birth to a child receive US$5,000
14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $ 0.15
15. 25% of Libyans have a university degree
16. Gaddafi carried out the worlds largest irrigation project, known as
the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available
throughout the desert country.
