Libya - Qadhafi's 25 Years in Power

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.

Wow! I am amazed to find out I have been wrong in believing the trustworthy US govt AGAIN!

I have seen through the hype abt Castro and Chavez, but I guess ANY leader who is actually elected by the MASSES(with those evil socialist plans for equality) and not handpicked by the US govt is evil..let's face it, US TV is the best brainwashing tool EVER invented!

@zenbrenzz Dude your account says your from the US, visit Libya, Cuba, or Venezuela if you think the US media is portraying them so bad.

If the people want Col. Gaddafi to step down, he should, whatever good or bad he has done for Libya he should listen to the people and not go and destroy the country they all worked so hard to build.
