This week marks the three-year anniversary of the Western-backed murder of Libya’s former president, Muammar Gaddafi, and the fall of one of Africa’s greatest nations. In 1967 Colonel Gaddafi inherited one of the poorest nations in Africa; however, by the time he was assassinated, Gaddafi had turned Libya into Africa’s wealthiest nation. Libya had the highest GDP per capita and life expectancy on the continent. Less people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands. After NATO’s intervention in 2011, Libya is now a failed state and its economy is in shambles. Thanks to Obama, Libya today is a haven for terrorists, a hub for human trafficking, plagued by widespread rape, assassinations and torture at the hands of US-armed mercenaries. Libyas extraordinary network of universities and publichealth care facilities are on the brink of collapse, and the largest irrigation project in human history, the UNESCO-backed Great Man Made River, dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World, has been delberately destroyed. Most of the country is now without access to fresh water for the first time in decades. Following the recent bombing of Libya, the United States has built new military bases in the Seychelles, Kenya, South Sudan, Niger and Burkina Faso.
