Ni upumbavu kumfananisha Magu na Ghadafi. Wanawwza kuwa ndyo ni madictator ila nikikuuliza magu kasaudia nini mpaka sasa utaanza kujikanyaga kanyaga.

Whatever might be said, it remains an open fact that Gaddafi's failure to embrace democracy and the rule of law contributed a lot to his downfall and eventually his tragic demise.

He created a situation from which the western nations exploited to engineer his downfall. How do you rule a country for over four decades banning all political activities or any lawful opposition from being formed in today's world and still expect to rule indefinitely, it's really incomprehensible.

What's happening in Libya today is a result of a one man running a show monotonously and for too long without experiencing any lawful challenge and thus making people naive in matters of public governance.

For a country like Libya, emerging from a decades old dictatorship, it will obviously take sometime for the country to mend the woes that have been caused by 42 years of Gaddafi's misrule and for the people of Libya to institute a new culture of forgiveness and tolerance.

Lastly, judging by how overwhelmingly the people of Libya participated in the anti Gaddafi insurgency, it goes without saying that the people of Libya had had enough of the regime notwithstanding the social welfare scheme he set up for them that the outsiders esp other African countries viewed as a privilege although to them it was their right.

The people of Libya will eventually rebound from the current crisis and the country will reclaim its former position as an economically prosperous country on the continent, the present scenario is a mere passing cloud.

Libya kurudi ilipokuwa ni ndoto ya decades, meanwhile China wameondoa hiyo democracy, Yule malkia uingereza wanawadanganya hana mamlaka it's vice versa.
Many countries haven't embraced democracy and are just doing fine and better than us imitators

Unamaanisha Hakuna kitu Magufuli amesaidia? Dah, hamhisi hata aibu. Binadamu kweli haturidhiki, hata angeshuka Mungu, ungesema hamna alichosaidia. Hivi huwaga mnatumia akili au mafi.

It's obvious you're ignorant of the British Constitution that provides for the ceremonial role of the monarchy but luckily you aren't alone in that class of the ignorant. However, if you can admit your ignorance, then we're ready to volunteer to help you for free. Please be candid and you'll be helped.

Bro..its not democracy that engineered gaddafis demise..

Lengo la hizi threads ni kuwakatisha tamaa watanzania wasiandamane dhidi ya watawala wa hovyo. Hakika nakwambia hata ulaya walipambana na kupitia tanuli za moto kufikia hapo, hawakukubali ubabe wa wafalme wao. Libya etc ni mapito tu kuelekea maendeleo na demokrasia ya kweli. Yale maisha enzi ya Gadafi yalikuwa sio maendeleo ya watu bali rushwa kwa watu wake wasiinue mdomo dhidi yake na serikali

Demokrasia ya kweli ndiyo kitu gani!!!??? Hakuna maandamano hayo yanayofikiriwa...subirini muone...hajaribiwi mtu hapa...wale wanaotaka maandamano wawe msitari wa mbele....

Maendeleo yatokanayo na democracy ndio ndio maendeleo endelevu na bora, haya kuswagwa kama ming'ombe ndio kama Libya!

I do not find merit in your reasoning at all. The west wanted and will always want to dominate the wealth of the world natural resources. Without allowing them to exploit it.....Gadaf had to go.

Reasoning from a number of peaple who appeared to fight Gadaf...it appears to me that u have overlooked the fact that....all mojor news channels of the world were baised towards the ant gadafi movement....they never showed in detail those who opposed the movement...those who knew it was a trap.

Okey...now lets say it was an issue of democracy...would NATO overthrow the goverment of China as the current president is sword in as president for life?!...I bet never!

I think you're an imbecile, if you can recall, it's the Libyans who started the insurgency against Dictator Gaddafi from the eastern city of Benghazi not Nato.

Nato only came to offer the helping hand almost a month after insurgency had begun and after getting the nod from the UN security council.

It has now become routine for the African dictators to wrongly blame any political upheaval they face on the western countries.

Hapa kitu pekee kinachoweza kuja tatua maatizo haya yote duniani kwa sasa ni UJAMAA/ SOCIALISM tu. Si dini wala maambiko, iyo democracy imeshindwa kabisa mpaka sasa hivi, zaidi inaleta vifo tu vya watu wasio na hatia, angalia kiendeleacho Syria. US na washirika wake washaona kuwa wameshindwa mtoa Assad, sasa wanataka kwenda mbele zaidi kupiga mji wa Damascus ambapo ndipo raisi alipo, Russia wametoa warning kw yeyoe atakaye jaribu kupiga Damascus. That means what, Americans and his Allies will ready into WWW3. Russia also has allies behind and luck thing with russia never betray his allies, Once it occur no one will be safe in this world sio mambo ya kushangilia hayo. Russia with China, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Turkey and so on against NATO and USA

Hebu nenda kaangalia Syria before war and Syria after war ndo utajua dunia inahitaji watu kam Russian President V. Putin all over the world

 

[kirumonjeta]

Sio kweli ukisemacho unatakiwa kujua wakati wa gadafi wa libya asilimia 83 walikuwa wasomi kwa sasa asilimia 83 hawaendi shule...na unatakiwa kujua kwa sasa nchi nyingi za western madaktari na consultant ni walibia fanya reseach

Sawa tumekuelewa,ila 264 iko palepale!!!!

All other african leaders should borrow a leaf from the Libyan experience, and the big lesson from Libya is that no matter how big and extensive social action plans they implement in their countries, if good governance, the rule of law and human rights are not observed and entrenched, all the goodies will be in vain! Gadaffi's fate is waiting for them on the horizon!

Stupid

Summing up my six paragraph article with a mere sarcastic word like the way you did shows, not only how lunatic you might be, but how the parochial mind can go a long way to be credited with the "likes" from the people of the same school of thought..!! For which I will forgive you devoid of any preconditions.
