A much misunderstood country with such a rich history and huge potential, it breaks my heart to see what has happened to it in the last decade. You do such a great job in opening people's eyes to the real stories behind these places, and highlighting that, for the most part, we're all just human beings trying to live a peaceful life, raise our families and make a living.

My (Bulgarian) grandad worked in Libya for a year in 1974 and loved it. He still speaks of the beauty and curiousities of the land, of how respectful the people are, their quirkiness and particularities. This many years later he still remembers four ways to say “thank you” in Arabic, the names of the people he met there and a little something of their lives. He also believes btw that under Ghadafi it must have been better, at least better than now. He and my Grandmother have travelled extensively, mainy but not exclusevly around Europe. But he speaks about Lybia more than any other place. It was, after all, and intense adventure, a whole year. For me this is a lesson on how one can chose to appreciate the good things in their environment and approach humanity with optimism. One must also say that he had a job, a roof and food, he and his coworkers were wellcome and respected. The traumatological hospital in Tripoli which they helped building in 1974 is still standing and, at least a couple of years ago, operating. I really hope that the people of Lybia reach soon the peace, safety and peosperoty that every human being deserves.

We had a high walled compound, next to the US Embassy, and my mother traded cheap cigarettes with the gardeners there for some of the fresh fruit and veg they grew !

I remember going to Malta with family on vacation back in 2000 and not only was the food diabolical there, the Maltese came across unfriendly, cold and calculating and very adept at ripping people(tourists) off. But we got lucky when we discovered a little gem of a takeaway Restaurant, owned by a friendly and kind Libyan (a migrant restauranter) who served some amazing Mediterranean food, sometimes giving us discounted prices as we regularly ate there. He was also helpful in recommending places of interest to visit there - I guess perhaps, things may be different in Malta today but we never went back after that trip, though we often reminisce about the warm hearted Libyan, with very fond memories. After watching this, I hope to be able to visit this very 'misunderstood' country called Libya.

I cannot help the feeling that under Colonel Gaddafi this country used to be a true African gem (from health care, education, standard of living), but after the US decided to invent democracy over there and "save lives", plus after watching this video, it became a wasteland. Still proud tho, full of hope and with potential to be great again. We had a very strong relationship with Libya back in the day while Croatia was still part of Yugoslavia, it's maybe not well known or as it should be, but our engineers, doctors etc. were over there quite often, either building or for education purposes. Student exchange programs were also very popular. Tito and Gaddafi were very close friends and allies under the Non-Aligned Movement, and Yugoslavia also officialy condemnded the US bombing of Libya back in 1986.
