  • Libya has built the world’s largest irrigation project. Called the Great Man-Made River, it utilizes over 1,300 wells and 2,800 kilometers of pipe to transport 6.5 million cubic meters of water a day from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System in southern Libya to the populous cities in the north, including Tripoli and Benghazi, providing 70% of all freshwater used in Libya.

      Which is why America wanted him dead. He posed to much of a threat if he united and built Africa to be a prosperous continent that would rival America's influence and develop a economic revolution that would topple the U.S dollar there.
      He was a bigger threat than Osama Bin Laden that if he managed to do what he was doing, he could effectively rid the U.S dollar influence from having near full control of the African economy and market.

      It was proved that this system would waste money, destroy resources, and use up all water in the aquifer, causing great environmental crisis. Gaddafi was not a great man, like the people in this comment section say he was. They’re all Americans, tortured by a well developed system, Failed by their education system, and a disappointment to their nation. Gaddafi wanted to build this system to associate his name & image with prosperity. He knew it wouldn’t work, and probably knew it wouldn’t be finished in his lifetime. Meaning its failure wouldn’t be his problem.
