In 2011, Libya had the highest Human Development Index in Africa.
Free healthcare. Free education.
Electricity was free.
Fuel cost less than water.
Newlyweds received $50,000 from the government.
Students studied abroad on state scholarships.
Gaddafi was building the African Monetary Fund to free Africa from IMF & World Bank control.
What happened?
NATO bombed it back to the Stone Age.
Under the lie of “protecting civilians,”
The U.S., France, and the UK armed militias, bombed cities, and assassinated Gaddafi.
Why?
Because Gaddafi dared to dream of a united, sovereign Africa.
Because he was launching the gold-backed dinar—an African currency.
Because Libya was funding the rise of an independent Africa.
So they unleashed hell.
Today, Libya is a failed state.
Militias rule.
Slavery returned.
Black Africans are auctioned in open-air markets.
Migrants are tortured in cages.
There is no democracy. No stability. No peace.
Yet the West calls it a “liberation.”
And then this is the trick they sell you the cure.
They set up NGOs to “rebuild Libya.”
They offer military training to “secure the region.”
They push elections while controlling the candidates.
They handpick leaders who depend on foreign aid to govern.
And they keep drilling your oil the whole time.
This is the playbook.
Destabilize, demonize, destroy then dominate the rebuild.
They did it in Libya.
They tried it in Ethiopia.
They’ve done it in Congo for 60 years.
Now they’re circling around the Sahel.
But the real goal?
Keep Africa weak enough to control, but not strong enough to rise.
It’s not incompetence.
It’s strategy.
You can’t dominate a stable Africa.
You can’t exploit a sovereign Africa.
So they create the chaos.
Then sell you the cure.
Don’t fall for it.
Until Africans own their systems
Their currency, media, security, education, and leadership
We will keep bleeding while others keep feeding.
History is not repeating itself.
It’s being repeated by design.
