On this day in 2011, Libya’s leader Muammar Gaddafi was assassinated by NATO-backed forces in the Obama-Clinton regime change war. Under Gaddafi, Libyans benefitted from: • Free healthcare through the public health system. • Free education, including university education. • Subsidised food and fuel for households. • Public housing and housing assistance schemes. • Social security, pensions and family welfare benefits. • State support for employment, with a large public sector. • Major improvements in literacy and life expectancy compared with Libya’s pre-revolutionary conditions. Now Libya is a failed state with open-air slave markets, and still without a functioning unified state 15 years after NATO promised ‘democracy’, ‘freedom’, and ‘prosperity’ after they had finished destroying Libya. Whatever NATO nations touch turns to blood and rubble. Muammar Gaddafi: "NATO is expanding towards Russia. To reach the gas, oil, coal and iron owned by Russia. To occupy Russia."
