What is your impression of Libya? Would you visit? Also feel free to follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates :)

[@GM-qt3bm]

I'm not surprised at the state of Libya or any other similar country. Look at what's happening to the West when we import them here. Just terrible. Keep these stone age thugs out

[@streetbroom]

I surely would..

[@janellek21]

My impression of Libya: Failed state that's ripe for takeover by ISIS or another radical Islamic group and well on its way to being the next Yemen. Would I visit: FUCK NO. My principles AND MY SAFETY are too important to me.

[@fatima_ahmed06]

ليبيا دولة جميلة جداً كما أنها آمنة للغاية ، عندما تعلم أنها كانت في حرب من عامين فقط و ترى كمية الهدوء و الاصلاح و التطور فيها فهذا شيء لا تستطيع فعله كل الدول!! انها حقا دولة جميلة فيها الصحراء و الآثار و فيها الغابات و الجبال و الثلوج و لديها أطول ساحل مطل على البحر الابيض المتوسط كما أن شعبها لطيف للغاية، و هي غنية بالتاريخ و الثقافة

felt like a stone stuck in my throat watching this episode... im not Libyan but i was born in Tripoli, Libya... i only lived there for 5 years but my memory of Tripoli is still good. Imho it was a great country when I left and im sad seeing how terrible looking it is ... im seriously teary eyed writing this. Thanks to Drew Binsky and You, Josh Cahill for showing me the current state of my beloved Libya

[@XR190190]

The West destroyed that beautiful country

[@JoshCahill]

It’s interesting tho from all the conversations I had with locals that they are extremely grateful to the west and NATO especially for helping them get rid of Gaddafi.

[@peakycider3698]

Nato made the country like hell

[@ThePatriot-gm1fg]

​@@JoshCahillBrainwashed locals or paid libtards. Gaddafi was great. Look at the country now. It's a total mess.

[@mohammadkhalique9622]

Libya was a thiriving country with free healthcare, education and other benefita. Thanks to USA and NATO it became most dangerous places.

[@Inevitably_Gaming]

As a 15 year old Libyan living in the UK, as my parents moved here for work in the 90s, I frequently visit Libya every year for 2 months in the summer, and really, its a safe place. I'm also into aviation a lot and airlines in Libya are not affected by the civil war in terms of safety. They are affected financially, like all other sectors in Libya, and the main instigator of destruction to Libyan based airlines was the battle of Tripoli airport in 2014, before then aviation was great in Libya, however the airport hasn't been operable since then, and destroyed many aircraft in the process. I heard that the airport is being rebuilt now, and will likely reopen in the next year or 2 if things go to plan. Afriqiya in particular is not a dangerous airline, and the crash that occurred on the Johannesburg-Tripoli flight was due to fatigue, bad conditions and pilot error. It was also in 2010, before the war, so it's not related to the war in any way. There have also been no emergencies involving Libyan aircraft since 2010. So don't be worried when flying with a Libyan airline.

[@Inevitably_Gaming]

Also, personally I fly with Libyan Airlines, Libyan Wings, and Berniq Airways for the best experience. What you got there with Afriqiyah has been something I've never seen as a passenger flying that route regularly. Berniq Airways however is a brand new, and growing airline based in Benghazi. They seem to have pretty nice planes, much better condition than the dated Libyan Wings, Libyan Airlines, and Afriqiyah products. Crown airlines is also a brand new airline, with 2 in its fleet, aiming to provide premium experiences for passengers, and it flies the same route as well.
