What terrible things did Muammar Gaddafi do?
He had been called a tyrant, a dictator, a terrorist and some other terrible names.


You know who he is, right? The popular and controversial African leader who was killed in a drainage canal in 2011.

Colonel Gaddafi led the country of Libya for more than four decades .

  • He may have been a terrible leader , but a few articles I stumbled upon changed my perspective on this man. Sometimes we're not told everything about a story;
  • Libya's GDP per capita in 2010 was 12064.8 USD. It was 7529 USD in 2018;
  • Nursing mothers began receiving 5000 (US dollars) for themselves and the child.
  • There were no electricity bills or the price was ridiculous;
  • A house, farmland, live stock and seeds were given free of charge to those who wanted to start farming;
  • Education and medical treatment were absolutely free ;
  • Generous subsidies were given for weddings, housing and car purchases. Now Libyans have to pay the full price for everything;
  • He built the largest irrigation system in the world recognized as "the eighth wonder of the world" its purpose was to provide water to all Libyans throughout the country;
  • His last words to his killers were " What have I done to you ?"

Was he really a terrible leader or were people/governments outside tired of him?
