Muammar Qaddafi Interview (1981)

[@LowellBDennyIII]

When you hear "exporting terrorism" in general from the US State Dept., but very specifically in the case of Col. Qaddafi and Libya, please know this consisted of aiding Tanzania, giving financial and military resources to the opponents of the whites-only Rhodesian and apartheid governments of South Africa - this meant, being an ally to Mugabe and Chris Hani and the armed struggles they were fighting. Similarly, Cuba was accused of "exporting terrorism" when it sent troops or technicians to Angola, Namibia, Grenada [Maurice Bishop], Haiti [Fr. Aristide] and Nicaragua [FSLN]. Further, he provided aide to the Irish Republican Army. With the US bombing of Libya and his lynching, the last chapter closed on a global solidarity movement that was not only rhetorical but significantly material - with money, weapons, training. History will bookend the fall of the Berlin Wall on one end and Col. Qaddafi's murder on the other.

[@szevaszte]

,@@LarzGustafsson I support Gaddafi's ideological thoughts and I think that he was a real genius revolutionary but in my opinion, Rhodesia is not the best example of racist or apartheid-like governments.

[@Fuzsion187]

While everything you pointed out is true and needs to be said for historical clarity, what difference does anti-imperialism make when it is achieved through dictatorship and death-dealing against the people who are ostensibly one's own? From Nkrumah to Mugabe and from Amin to Castro and back to Lenin, I have yet to see an internal leftist critique of the means used to justify the communist or socialist ends. Each ended up being authoritarians willing to torture, imprison, and/or delete dissenters/opposition, not to mention their record on the freedoms of girls and women (especially in the Muslim versions of these supposedly freer societies. And for the record, I am not advocating capitalism or pretending the West has real democracies. But are we to believe that Putin's Russia or Jinping's China is preferable to (you pick the Western OR formerly Eastern imperialist)? The will to power and its inevitable destruction can show up in any political form. If I've missed something, I'm happy to learn. But I'm just mystified at how we so glossily determine who is on the right side of history.

I was reading the wikipedia article about Gaddafi, says he officially gave up power in the late 1970s but remained the commander in chief of the army. According to this interview the army was dissolved and ordinary citizens were given arms. Gaddafi was a great man, I'm convinced he has been slandered so terribly by the Captialists precisely because he was so genuine about his humanistic vision for his society and the world..

I think the United States despite all the negative history between Libya and it, could have at least worked out its disagreements more politically without bombings or other acts of violence.

What the heck, great interview and thanks for sharing. Peace to everyone.

Interesting. Never seen or heard and Interview with Muammar Qaddafi. Also interesting that it is written that it is an interview conducted LIVE VIA SATELLITE from LYBIA....guessing was an American Satellite...

[@jamesanderson677]

Gaddafi put forward $300 million. This opened the way for the African Development Bank to contribute US$50 million with the Western Development Bank putting an additional US$27 million. On 26 December 2007, Africa got its first communications satellite. The initiative by Gaddafi to set everything in motion by a mere gesture of putting forth $300 million was all that was needed to get results. And that is how Africa got its first communications satellite, thereby reducing the money paid to Europe every year. The RASCOM satellites are an attestation of a vision by leaders to connect the whole continent together and stop relying on former colonizers. It is for such reasons that the West grew increasingly cold towards Gaddafi, viewing him as a despicable and contemptible political figure that had to be removed from the face of the earth. And it also for these reasons that the double standards of the West are brought to light.
