Muammar Gaddafi Interviewed Just Before Libyan Revolution

I spent 2 years of my childhood in Libya as my parents worked there on infrastructure projects. As I remember it it was one of the best parts of my life and I can totally confirm that everyone was happy and everyone loved Gaddafi. He had the best social system in the world that provided for everyone as much as they want and have the lifestyle they want. From the simple shepherd to the manager of 5 hotels. Did you know that if you were admitted at Harvard University the Libyan state would pay your tuition fees? There is a reason you probably never encountered a Libyan living overseas: no one wanted to live Libya as it was a paradise!

Back then libya has free universal healthcare, electricity, housing and education. Today is a war thorn chaotic hell to live in.

I never met a single person from Africa who thought this man was worthy of death. It is a shame what has happened to Libya since his death.

This man gave the greatest speech in history of the UN general assembly.

I have his watch. My grandfather was a General for the Federal Yugoslav Army and had dealings with him. At the end of one of their meetings Gaddafi took his watch off his wrist and gifted it to my grandfather. I still have it and it works. It's Swiss made but it's branded with Libyan government symbols.

It's one thing to kill a man but to tarnish his memory and make everyone think he was evil is just callous.

This is the Gaddafi most of us in Africa saw and experience. On a trip to my nativeland of Sierra Leone, I was there to see him speak. He was the first person I heard shed optimism about Africa, and the untapped potential we have within. Unsure about all the inner-workings of Libya during his reign, but I can clearly see his country has gone backwards after his death. ISIS, Slave Trade etc. all creaped inside present day Libya.

When Gaddafi said, “Obama is the exceptional case, but America is America”, I felt that.

They said gaddafi was evil. Look at Libya now,what are the "angels" done

Here we are, 7 years later, and this guy still makes more sense than any american president so far

If this man was still alive the world would be a much better place.

Fantastic interview. I’m surprised by how frank he is, in such a relaxed manner.

US Main Stream Media tricked me into thinking this man was Hitler. As I am older now,I realize this was a unique man that loved his people.

I lived and worked in Libya for several years, during the time of Co. Gaddsfi, he did for Libyan people more then anyone in their history, he built the country, modern roads,hospitals in every city, industrial facilities and good life standard for Libyans,housing, electricity and gasoline was almost free, stores was full of goods for all over the ward also very cheap. Col. Gaddafi by all standards deserve respect.

You can feel the love he had for his people. It is a shame that so much destabilization happened in Libya and in the ME. Today in November of 2023 I look at the atrocities happening in Palestine and wonder how he could’ve helped them now while the world seems to have abandoned them. Maybe he was right the young people can bring peace even now not politics or “diplomacy” or leaders. A silly dream on a sleepless night witnessing such pains inflicted on people of Palestine 😢

I like Gaddafi...Never met him but I like his spirit and demeanor.....FACTS 💯

As an Irishman, this man had more brains, charisma and wisdom than most in this day and age, the damage inflicted on Libya is a shame to all of us in the West, God rest him.

Without him, north africa is a mess. The way he died was just cruel.

I love to hear this man speak. Such wisdom. He seems so real in contrast to those around him, to be almost unreal. Such a down to earth manner of speech.

He wrote his ideas on solving Palestine and Israel's crisis = Isratine. He wanted to combine both sides into one country to ensure peace. This man had so much wisdom. He wrote about it in "White Book".
