Re: Gaddafi Killed
Disclaimer: I got the following from a friend’s fb page. Dont know the truth but if true, he DID do some appreciable things for his people. And btw, I do not support the way he was killed. But I Guess libyans needed their closure.
There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.
There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.
Home considered a human right in Libya – Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi’s father has died while him, his wife and his mother are still living in a tent.
All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.
Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%.
Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kick-start their farms – all for free.
If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it – not only free but they get US$2,300/mth accommodation and car allowance.
In Libyan, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price.
The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter.
Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally.
If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.
A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
A mother who gave birth to a child receive US$5,000
40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $ 0.15
25% of Libyans have a university degree
Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.
Let us assume that everything listed here true, but does that means Gaddafi created that wealth? No. He stole those resources from Libyan people & he and his cronies got rich from it.
Its same with rest of the Arab dictators. They haven’t created oil wealth. If anything they are stealing that wealth for their people. Saudia is good example. King and his family are enjoy everything while throwing crumbs at his people, and exporting Whabi terror to rest of the world.
