[@eldidosti6202]

we ( western society ) already tired that remember ... during 60/70/80/90 if anyone would try to say something bad about how THINGS work , the immediate response would be " don't think about it / you worry to much / you are very pessimist & negative / don't think about this things / try to be happy " well this is were we ended up by " not thinking about it " ... Problems don't just solve themselves , it would be great if they did. It is good when people criticise because the people who do criticise have really though about that they are complaining about and often means that they have also found another , More Efficient Way , of doing the thing that they are complaining about. So people who criticise , are offering another alternative way , and in the mean time , there are people like you who think " let's just hope that tomorrow will be better " . But tomorrow will not be better , if we keep doing the same shit that got us into this problems. Tomorrow will not be better just because we want it to be better , we have to do better to hope for better, you know like the most logic thing in the universe. The most dangerous people on earth are Empty Positives , who want better but refuse to do better

To shed a light on some of the thoughts that were going through your head in the video, Ghdames is a historical/nature tourism destination, the city is mostly empty because of the current weather ( simply this isn't the prime season to visit it ) , Also the police watching you closely is truly for your safety, unfortunately we still have a parley there legal system and the last thing any of us want is a foreigner being endangered by armed groups or even random acts of ignorantly hate attacks, anyway, if you are still in the city and you find your self interested in getting more local and youthful perspectives, please feel free to contact me and I'm sure we can work something out :)

I'm currently based in Libya. Last spring break, my colleagues, whom are all foreign teacher from all sorts of continent had a great time with their visit in Gadames. (I wish I was there too but I went to spend my break outside.) Here in Tripoli, security police and militias are a lot less compared 2 years ago. Shops are opened and everything are back in business. We drive and walk in Tripoli especially in Madina, the city center and I never encountered anyone asking us about anything except hospitality and people asking where are we from and after that, they will say be very happy to say welcome to Libya. They're happy seeing foreigners here. Mainly because most of them went out during the war. So few are still working here but it's not a common sight. So, in summary, you still find good places here but are mainly found in Tripoli and other major cities. But outside Tripoli, there are some peaceful places and some are not. It's just a matter of choosing where to go and knowing the limits plus the dangers of places you're trying to visit. I hope you try to share the nice shops and places in the city centers. They're far than what I expected in a country torn by civil war. That's for sure.

Instead, those who encouraged and started wars in the country thought they were helping the Libyan people get rid of Gaddafi!! See where that got them!

I think you missed the significance of what he was saying about the cigarette cartons. During the Kingdom period, the brand is literally a transliteration of "Sport" written in Arabic - like imagine the letters S B O R T written out in Arabic, so it's a transliteration not a translation. Whereas in Gaddafi's Libya it's a translation i.e. it's the actual Arabic word that means sport (riyadha in Arabic). The point is that (depending on your point of view) the Kingdom period is perhaps Anglophile/Westernophile (or pro-colonialist), and the Gaddafi period is Arabophile (or Arab Nationalist).

[@sabinereynaudsf]

I was thinking along those lines, though I can't read Arabic. Gaddafi was promoting a pan-Arab movement and later on a pan-African movement.

For some reason Libya seems a lot safer than some most of the places i saw in previous videos of Honduras. Maybe it's just my perception. It may be the geography or just the surrounding areas.

RIP Ghadafi. The story of Libya is very complicated but Ghadafi was killed because he was our “enemy”. Our government tricked us into thinking Ghadafi was bad. He built a home for every Libyan, gave them free high quality healthcare and education. The citizens even got a monthly payment from the government for the oil. He was a good leader. Far from perfect and his children were terrible but the man himself was good. People all over Africa tried to make it there and become citizens.

[@jonfklein]

I worked in Libya for four years in the 2000s. Here are my impressions and a few comments. Take them with a grain of salt since I am by no means an expert on the culture or the people. Libyans are quite a simple people. They live simple lives and their culture instills an attitude of humility, respect and friendliness in everyone. A senior engineer from the USA who I met once told me that when he was in Libya in the 1960s there were basically no cars in Tripoli, only horses, donkeys and camels. Only government officials and diplomats had cars. That indicated to me how close to traditional lifestyle the people are. I don't have any insight into the conflicts in the country since 2011. But I believe they are rooted in rival tribes, struggling for a larger share of power and reprisals for stuff that happened during the Ghadafi years. The police presence may have simply been a carry-over of police practices from the Ghadafi years. In other words during Ghadafi's time the police monitored people regularly and now that he is gone they simply continue the same practice since they don't know what else to do. (I was told there were five different security forces in the country and Ghadafi had them spying on each other so no one security force could become too powerful.) Since you were the only foreigner in the town they put all the staff on your trail. A Libyan friend of mine told me that as a westerner it's better to just say "hello" as a greeting, rather than "as-salaam-alaikum". Every Libyan knows what "hello" means and for them it sounds strange when a foreigner says "as-salaam-alaikum".

[@A.Severan]

Well put and I agree with most of what’s said. There were, indeed, many cars in Libya in the 1960s. Most Tripoli households owned cars in the 50s. Keep in mind that Libyans were wealthier per capita than their US and EU counterparts from the latter half of the 60s until mid-80s (due to Reagan’s sanctions).

[@A.Severan]

Also, tribes in Libya are not at all significant as most people think. They’re also not a factor of the conflict.

[@jonfklein]

@@A.Severan That's interesting. I don't know what the senior engineer from the USA was referring to when he said there were no cars in Tripoli. Maybe it was an exaggeration and he meant there were far fewer than today or fewer than in the USA in the 1960s. If not tribal allegiance, what is causing the conflict in Libya today?

[@A.Severan]

@@jonfklein The conflict is due to many factors. The most notable ones are foreign interference from mid-level powers, lack of institutions due to Gaddafi’s uprooting of the state for his now-deposed system, the oil curse, and again, foreign interference. Foreign meddling is a big problem.
