The New Libya - October 2003

After years of isolation from the international community it looks as though Libya is on the road to reform.
Colonel Gadhafi is the longest serving Arab leader in power. After seeing the deposal of his old ally Saddam Hussein, it appears that Gadhafi is willing to make changes which might protect his regime. To end sanctions placed on Libya since the infamous Lockerbie bombing, Gadhafi is to pay a compensation package. "It's not compensation. It's a price," claims Gadhafi. The 'price' for acceptance in the world community. It now seems that part of this 'price' is open disarmament. True to form, the timing of Gadhafi's announcement to disarm was impeccable -- it came just two days before the 15th anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing. He has also dropped Libya's compensation claims for America's 1986 bombing. But Libya is currently facing it's own economic failure and reform is necessary. Gadhafi's unique blend of socialist/Islamic thought is not working in the nation's best interest. "Our public sector has proven to be sluggish, sometimes even corrupt," states P.M. Shukri Ghanem. He hopes to privatise large sections of the economy in order to speed economic growth. But the key to Libya's success in securing positive international acceptance lies in it's vast, unexplored oil fields. "American companies will stampede in" states Tarek Hassan Beck. But some Libyans are cynical about the reforms. If external pressure is removed from Libya then the regime will be strengthened. And for some this does not bode well for the people. "Gadhafi will feel that he's secure with the West and he's going to be free to be even more oppressive with his own people."

    What NATO did to Libya is enough to call them a terrorist organization, one of the most heinous crimes of modern history, a great country looted and destroyed, everything was surgically planned, they left lots of different groups fighting for power, if NATO would have left a stable government they wouldn't have been able to steal all the gold and also some oil without consequences ... When you look at what they did with Libya you are looking at what modern colonialism looks like.

    There is lots of Western propaganda in this "documentary" but we can still learn much about the despora rats living outside of Libya who were and are willing to do anything to disrupt the Great Jamairya and take Libya's wealth for themselves--- which under the Great Jamahiriya refused to share with all the Libyan people--and thus were given the ultimatum [which required them to leave the country if the did not agree with the process].

    The part about the Africans is a giant huge LIE. My father had an African English teacher in one of the best schools in Libya and many of my family members know about Africans who worked in Libya. Back then when Libya was prosperous, people used to come to Libya to work and get some of the highest salaries in the world. After they stole the money, they would return back home. Gaddafi used to love Togo, the South African leader Nelson Mandela, and many more African and Spanish countries like Venezuela. These guys could have worked but enjoyed there lives in the dirty areas and as shoeshiners, they are asking for it.

    Muammar has not"ruled" since 1974; The Great Jamahiriya does not have PMs but rather Committee Secretaries who do only the people's will (not their own)....The people themselves, under the Great Jamairiya system of the Third Universal Theory, ran their own affairs---there was no "government" or "representatives" (whom the people had to pay for) ...only themselves... and they could be loudly voiceing themselves in their meeting Halls of the local Congresses and Committees.
