TERRORISM or PATRIOTISM

THE AFTERMATH OF LYBIA.

His excellency Muammar Abu Meniar el-Gaddafi was born in 1942 on the south of Sirte Lybia. Former Lybia president Mr Gaddafi gained interest in Arab nationalism while he was still in High school, he got inspired in Arab nationalism through listening to speeches of the president of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser, by the age of 27 colonel Gaddafi had over thrown the government of Lybia and  had become the chairperson of Arab Nationalist Council and ruled Lybia for 42 years.                      

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi did not share the same beliefs and values as of those of western cultures, infact he was perceived at a dictator, a terrorist for running his country the way he did, when Colonel Gaddafi came in to power, he nationalized all Lybian Private owned companies, including the oil industry and foreign owned properties and used Islamic beliefs and principles to govenrn the people of Lybia, ergo Jews, Christians, white people and homosexuals would be placed in penitentiaries for having their own religious views.

However this was not a necessarily bad thing for the country of Lybia, because during the reign of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Lybia became the most literate, long living, highly educated, wealthiest country in Africa with social welfare benefits that would make any European country envious, to top it all of, in 2009 Colonel Gaddafi became the chairperson of African union.

If Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is as bad as CNN and BBC World say he is, a dictator, terrorist then why would Africa elect such an awful heartless leader... It is evident that Muammar Gaddafi was the best thing that ever happened to Lybia, because ever since his assassination in 20th October 2011, the country of Lybia has implode in just less than three years, since the assassination of Colonel Gaddafi Lybia has changed government three times and there has been non stop civil war. But then what do I know...maybe I am just an overly freedom intoxicated  pan africanist.
