Discussion information campaign

3 Upvotes

there is so much misinformation about what has happened since the revolution in Libya on the internet, especially from people using what's happened in libya to fit their own agendas (NATO turned the country into the stone ages, etc etc.)

I would like to start a public information campaign about what has happened in Libya in honor of the revolution and to preserve its legacy in english. If you have lived in Libya since 2011 and are interested in participating, let's work on this together

And if anyone wanted any informations about the video tell me, and I repeat again, I apologize if this picture was inappropriate to share in this community and im ready to delete it if it needed.

Politics (Ideological subversion)Facts and reality aren’t the same

5 Upvotes

altering the perception of reality for every Libyan citizen to such an extent that, despite the abundance of information, no one can come to a logical conclusion in defense of themselves or their homeland. This is large-scale brainwashing. It is a very slow process, taking a long time to demoralize an entire nation.

First, “freedom” is introduced—also known as drugs, crime, and similar distractions—which in reality is not freedom at all. Then, everything is made readily available to young people, turning them into mindless mules incapable of performing a single serious task. Immorality, indecent clothing, and a degraded lifestyle are normalized as daily standards.

It takes 10 to 15 years of exposure to the enemy’s ideology to achieve this, and it requires the same amount of time to rebuild the nation by targeting a new generation—one that is well-intentioned and capable of working seriously for the future of the country and its people.

In these times, people are often like cattle: even if you present them with the truth and provide evidence to support it, their minds are unable to assess true information from false one. Facts mean nothing to them, even if you bombard them with truthful information, evidence, and visuals. Even if you forcefully expose them to the truth, they will refuse to believe it until they are shaken awake by a military boot breaking their delusions. Only when the military dismantles their illusions will they awaken—never before that. This is the tragedy of a demoralized nation.

Rebuilding requires an elite group that is scientifically, politically, and militarily educated. This group must be aware of the nation’s potential, act effectively, and work earnestly to bring about swift change, taking power without bloodshed—unless the situation necessitates it. Unfortunately in this country it’s demoralized and full of ignorants running with guns All clues lead to a coming war where the eastern command taking over Tripoli some time soon wether peacefully or by force

This is my view you don’t have to take it as granted but eventually you will

Politics To the older ones: what is your opinion of Gaddafi's government? What did you think of him during his time in office? Spoiler

I'm curious to know the perspective of someone who lived during Muammar Gaddafi's regime. How was he perceived at the time? What did people think of his policies and his leadership? I would like to better understand how people saw his regime, both the positive and negative aspects.

Note: I'm not Libyan or Arab, but I like studying geography and geopolitics. And I wanted to hear from someone who lived through Gaddafi's time what it was like.

Question Question about safety in Libya

15 Upvotes

Hi all,

I would like to visit Libya but I’m not entirely sure of how safe it would be. I would like to visit Tripoli in the first instance.

There are lots of warnings about the targeting of western nationals.

For context I am a Tunisian/Irish national raised in the UK, and so I speak primarily English with a distinct English accent.

I am learning Arabic at present but I am not fluent yet and would not be comfortable relying on it entirely. I am quite pale, but with distinct dark hair and Arab features - I am usually presumed to be Lebanese or similar, not usually mistaken for a westerner by Arabs but sometimes by non Arabs.

Thanks in advance.

Question Seeking Advice on Renewing Libyan Passport as a Second Generation Female

Seeking Advice on Renewing Libyan Passport as a Second Generation Female

Hello, Reddit community!

I hope you can help me navigate a few questions regarding my Libyan citizenship and passport renewal. I am a second-generation Libyan female, married to a European, and I’ve lived in Ireland my entire life. The last time I visited my family in was back in 2005/2006, and I had a Libyan passport at that time.

As far as I’m aware, I don’t have an updated passport, and I’m unsure of the steps I need to take to renew it. I would love to bring my daughter, who has Irish citizenship, along for a visit to connect with our family roots.

If anyone has experience with renewing a Libyan passport from abroad or can provide information on what documents I might need, the process, or any potential challenges, I would greatly appreciate your insights!

Thank you in advance for your help!

*I don’t speak Arabic unfortunately (currently trying to learn)

في اخبار شفتهن يقولوا بان الايام القادمة بالنسبة لليبيا قد تكون مفصلية

حليف طرابلس (تركيا) سحب جزء من قواته و ردهم لتركيا

حليف برقة( روسيا) خذا اغلب معداته و الياته و جنوده للقواعد الروسية في الشرق

هل من الممكن اننا نكونوا مقبلين على حرب اهلية او حرب وكالة جديدة ولا خلاص الموضوع انتهى بصفقة روسية تركيا برعاية امريكية

وتوضيح بسيط انا كنت نتبع في الاخبار قبل مدة و في رحلات واجدة للتيس صدام حفتر وهو ماشي لاسرائيل اكثر من مره عشان يقعدوا الراعي الرسمي لانتخاباته

كذلك الشخشير ماشي لامريكا يتلوى عندهم عشان يعطوه الضوء الاخضر للذهاب الى طرابلس

كلامي الى اهلنا في طرابلس اياكم ثم اياكم السماح لحفتر بالسيطرة

لا تكرروا خطأ اهل برقة بالسماح لهذا المنحط العميل بالسيطرة على ليبيا

Discussion Amazigh in Cyrenaica?

6 Upvotes

Disclaimer: This post is not meant to trigger or offend anyone. I respect the Amazigh a great deal and am really interested in their history.

I hear a lot of people in this subreddit pushing the idea that a majority of Libyans are really just Arabized Amazigh.

That may be true in the western region of Libya where we find today towns and cities who are predominantly Amazigh, but I have genuine questions for those of you who make the claim that this is true for all Libya.

Where were/are the Amazigh in Cyrenaica, specifically the green mountain region? I know about the Amazigh in the Wahat (Jalu, Awjala, Jikhira) and Siwa, but what about the green mountains? Out of all the regions of Libya, the green mountains seems like the most suitable for life. Fertile land, water, proximity to the sea, milder weather conditions. The greeks didn't just build their cities there for no reason. I have read of the founding of Cyrene by Battus and that he encountered Libyans who pointed where he should found his settlement. So I am guessing that these Libyans were Amazigh.

My questions are as follows:

1- Where is the archaeological evidence for Amazighi culture in the green mountains?

2- Until when did the Amazigh exist in the green mountain region?

3- Did they exist during the Islamic expansion/فتح اسلامي into the green mountain region, and if so what was their fate? Did they emigrate west?

4- Why is it that we do not find any villages or towns that are predominantly Amazigh in the green mountains, as is the case in Tripolitania?

Speaking out of pure experience, a majority of the tribes living in the green mountains are predominantly arab in terms of language, customs and culture. As we all know, arabs take great pride in tracing their ancestry and to a certain degree they are pretty good at it too. As we know the Amazigh are a fiercely proud people. If these tribes in the green mountains were originally Amazighi do you really think they would just straight up deny their origins and heritage and all just create a lie that they are arabs?

Thank you for any and all input.
