NATO’s bombing of Libya has set the nation back decades - ex-FM
NATO’s bombing of Libya has set the North African nation back decades, the country’s ex-foreign minister has told RT, challenging the notion that the West had launched its military campaign there for humanitarian reasons.

Washington invoked a flashy new doctrine, R2P (“Right to Protect”), in order to justify the 2011 military intervention in Libya. Instead of protecting civilians, the campaign has led to massive instability which has destroyed the fabric of Libyan society, Dr. Mustafa El Zaidi, the country’s former health minister and former minister of foreign affairs, told Afshin Rattansi on RT’s Going Underground.
Describing the humanitarian situation there as “catastrophic,” El Zaidi said that Tripoli suffers from daily power shortages, while the southern part of Libya is gripped by fuel shortages.
“There is no health service at all. Libyans are now going back to life in the early 40s and 50s.”

Which was the initial plan of the US to begin with, to sink the country in misery to the point they beg others tu buy their oil at lower prices... The same script is being applied to my country, there's little to no difference in the US ultimate goal in Venezuela.
Endless war for profit... sick, really.
It always makes me sad to consider that my tax dollars fund such horrible atrocities. Perhaps one day, crypto-currencies will force the status quo to bend to the humanity.
The more we trade directly with each other, the fewer dollars exist for the purchase of endless wars.
