February 2011: 17th, marks of the official day when the uprising against the Colonel from Libya that always opened his wallet when Africa needed financial aid started.
His enemies, who spent a long time of friendship with him, still suffer from the results of their deed: Free influx of refugees and soldiers of fortune from Africa as well as the Middle East, other powers taking control of the area, and the oil, a steady flow settled by contract, now is next to be lost.
The outcome of this is still uncertain.

The outcome of it that they sell slaves there. Well, that is not the outcome but what is going on. But just shows you that playing with sharks will lead you to no good. He was a bourgeois leader nonetheless and they pick on the weaker ones. The world of sharks. But no question that the region suffered a great deal from that.

After they took him down, you can say Libya turned into a place like Somalia, where everyone with the necessary loose cash can buy anything whatever he wants. Guns, slaves, prostitutes/wives forced into marriage, mercenaries...
As far as I know, no matter how Gaddafi's reign was, before it was a huge place for people from Africa to find work and earn money.
For living conditions common in Africa, it was one of the rather "modern" countries.
Ever since these new North-Africa-politics, which blasted him out of his position, this circumstance completely turned around and one may not even dare to tell fortune about it, when that could change again only for the tiniest bit.
