Only France wanted gadaffi out. Gadaffi would suddenly take a drastic shift towards the West towards the end of his rule where he became cooperative with the Brits and Americans, and in return the US and UK encouraged oil company investment in Libya. MI6 even abducted two Libyan dissidents living abroad i believe in the 2000s and extradited them back to Libya with a note saying "thank you." The french threatend US they would get out of NATO if they didn't support them. Also Italy and Turkey was gainst intervening.

I was in Libya when the “ underground sea” was built. The 8 foot diameter concrete pipeline runs from Benghazi to Tunisia. It was an amazing engineering fear, designed by a couple of engineers from USA and built by South Korean companies and Libyan people. All along the coast there is abundance of cement rock so at various intervals a concrete plant was established to make the pipes. I believe the system is being let go at the moment.

My understanding is that the water is "fossil water" from ancient times, when there were glaciers and jungles in what is now Libya. The water does not come from an aquifer that is replenished, but from a deposit that was made millennia ago. When it is sucked dry it will be back to desert. In that situation the normal practice is to regulate for the best conservation, not use it for extravagant displays. Like coal or gold, once the mineral is gone, that is all there is to the story.

Wait how was France involved? I thought it was Obama/CIA project.

The fact that the Sahara desert was green just 6,000 years ago leads me to believe that there could be ancient civilizations buried underneath all that sand, or structures that have been heavily eroded. And considering that our modern civilization started not too long after the Sahara became a desert could suggest that the people of the ancient fertile crescent civilizations could be descendants of the people who left North Africa as the climate was changing. With such a large area with so much water I believe the green Sahara would have been the perfect place for vast civilizations to exist, it's also telling that we've discovered large man-made structures and settlements that are over 10,000 years old around modern-day Turkey.

As an Australian, I found this video to be very interesting as many of the towns that you mentioned are well known to anyone who has studied the Western Desert Campaign of WWII, which involved many Australian Diggers including the famous Rats of Tobruk who held out against the siege by Rommel's Africa Corps. These men were relieved after a prolonged siege and then rushed home to help defend Australia from the Japanese Southward Expansion into Asia, but that's another story. I had no idea Gaddafi was responsible for this massive civil engineering project and given that a large proportion of Central and Western Australia is Desert it is of particular interest. The question is whether we have such a large amount of fossil water hidden away under our deserts. We do have the Great Artesian Basin further over to the East but that has suffered from over exploitation and unregulated wells. Some of the water is particularly high in disolved minerals and or exceedingly hot when it reaches the surface. Still once it cools thirsty cattle will drink plenty of it.

2:51 so thats actually not true. A lot of people don't know this but the Italian occupation of Libya was exceptionally brutal with the empire having effectively committed genocide against much of the population. The first ever use of planes in warfare was used by the Italians to bomb Libyans. There were concentration camps in the country that mostly targeted the educated, middle class populations in the coastal cities. So while yes Libya's geography does prevent the growth of a large urban population, there were going to be a lot more people by the time of its independence if it were not for the Italians.

Such as how you believe our western geopolitical “education” (surely you mean awareness) is a sham and a failure, apparently, even though it’s not really covered in the educational system… it’s kind of something we have to be aware of ourselves. You could say “it’s hard _NOT_ to see American geopolitical education for the _SHAM_ that it is.” I don’t know, it just makes more sense, to me. More than anything, regardless of what this channel does or does not achieve, anyone watching it regularly (or similar channels) is educating themselves FAR more than the average citizen. Just saying… I mean, shit, most people, when I tell them “I play the violin,” they say “wow, cool, I never heard of that.” Like…so ignorant, that it’s painful. So we can nitpick what this channel does or doesn’t do right, but it’s ultimately a few steps up from the everyday citizen. ✌🏽😬😬

I'm wondering if Gaddafi had any plans on how to replenish those Aquifers? Hopefully once Libya becomes stable again this project will be completed. And it wouldn't hurt to install desalination plants to help meet water demands and reduce the strain on those ancient aquifers.

@rbd6502

Жыл бұрын

i was hoping that the natural rainfall would at least fill up the northern section of those aquifers like a natural cistern. but rewatching the parts with the maps, its like theres a very clear "no water zone" between the rainfall area and the aquifers. unfortunately all i can see in the future is a scenario where those aquifers collapse or some bunged up effort involving the meditteranean

@davidtherwhanger6795

Жыл бұрын

There is no current way to refill the Aquifers without using a tremendous amount of power and engineering. More than Libya has available. This is more of a stop gap. They need the water now, it is there for now, so might as well us it to help build a nation that can better itself in the future. What exactly that would be I do not know for certain. But it does buy them the time to find out. And that water in the Aquifers is doing nothing but sitting there now anyway. And would continue to do nothing in the future if not used.

(Basically as long as they invested in desalination before the fossil water runs out they don't need to refill the aquafirs) In a perfect situation that would take the oil money and fossil water and use it as a foundation & kickstarter for a diversified modern economy that can fund the desalination plants and other social programs (like public schools and state run/sponsored health clinics/hospitals). But thats in an ideal world ignoring all the current instability and realities of the region. (Its really easy to say just be rich and stable, much harder to actually do it)

They murdered the last good ruler of Africa. Gadaffi. Just because he was trying to make Africa great and independent from neo-colonism. "killed for unknown reason" is completely wrong... He tried to implement the "Golden Dinar", which would ruin the American dollar and the Euro. That would mean, all African and Islamic countries would only sell oil for REAL gold. - As soon as he presented the Golden Dinar, invasion happened. - Same with Saddam Hussein, he wanted to sell oil for Euros instead of Dollar. And the reason why the French were so eager to stop Gadaffi was because he wanted to liberate French "occupied" African countries.

In foggy areas, setting up fog nets to catch water and then using it to plant trees, which in turn will catch fog which will drop into the ground or if the tree is on high ground, the water can drop into pools. Then they can gradually expand the tree cover, as was done on Ascension Island.

I wonder if it would not be possible to construct (horizontal, flat) containers with relatively large surfaces that are black on the top side so that they can absorb a maximum of sunlight and use that to make seawater evaporate, and higher up 'catch' that vapor and make it condense on the inside of another such a space but these ones diagonally placed and with a catch-up 'gutter' at the lowest points (placed sideways away from the primal units at that they don't block the light, of course) that can be cooled using a flow of seawater pumped up from relatively high depth so that it is relatively cool, the pumps being powered with solar...

@markg.1159

The first targets of NATO strikes were radars, airfields and anti-aircraft batteries, as you'd expect given that the original goal was just to provide a no-fly zone. Over the whole course of the war, it looks like NATO strikes hit a water facility in Sirte and a water pipe factory near Brega (at the request of rebel forces), and that maybe the intent of the latter was to prevent repair of the water pipeline to Brega while Gaddafi's forces still controlled it. But I don't think there's evidence of any strategy to destroy the water system during the war. Turkey had intervened pretty heavily in post-revolution Libya, but I'd say it isn't on behalf of NATO so much as for their own purposes. And plenty of non-NATO members like Russia and the UAE are involved as well.

Really good video, I had no idea these underground pipe systems were a thing.
