Libya - Qadhafi's 25 Years in Power

Added: Aug 2, 2007

From: journeymanpictures

Duration: 9:39

August 1994 A historic report filmed as Libya celebrated 25 years of Qadhafi's rule. The UN has stopped all flights in and out of Libya and, during a seven hour wait to board the ferry to Malta, tempers flare. Despite these hardships Libya prospers. A Libyan official speaks frankly about his leader and admits mistakes have been made. He expresses regret for Libya's backing of the IRA and says it was revenge for Britain's part in the 1986 raid on Tripoli. We visit Qadhafi's bombed house - an eerie shrine to his daughter who died in that attack. Human rights abuses are detailed by a former university lecturer in Libya. He talks of lynchings in the university grounds. This film challenges the West's view of Libya and looks at Qadhafi's struggles both at home and abroad.

May 14, 2008 - So this clip is 14 years old? And Khadaffy has been boss for nearly 40 years, not 25. We are told he is now Mr. Good Guy, has given up his nukes. We have heard none of his bluster and rhetoric vs the U.S. or Isreal in many, many years.

Nov 20, 2008 - Libya has its human right issues, but in other respects the people live much better than in any other african country. The west is very picky about what human rights matter. The human right of a citizen to a home, in his own country is not given great importance in the western democracy. You get people without homes, or having to house share due to excessive rents of the 'property barons'. But we do have the right to free speech. However, to me both of these rights are equally important.
