1. There is no electricity bill in Libya, electricity is free for all its citizens.
2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.
3. Home considered a human right in Libya – Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a
home. Gaddafi’s father has died while him, his wife and his mother are still living in a tent.

The more you stay power the less popular you get. almost every dictator ended up like this no matter how many good things they did.

If they had all those things why the people became so savage as their dictator in the end. :lol:

I think dictatorship is like a roller coaster ride at the beginning everything is going good then you head straight to the top then a sudden drop then the biggest drop then you back on the ground, so moral of the story at the beginning it's a hell of ride at end you just want to get off.

Gadafi's curse will haunt the Libyans for decades to come. Arabs are wolves and need constant taming.
