TANTALIZA - Libya has oil, and a tiny population. The people could have been afforded FAR MORE, but gaddafi stole most of it from the country. He was considered one of the richest people in the world, from money he stole from his own country, and countrymen.
His own people celebrated his death. They dont care about your opinion on their dead dictator. Report Abuse

Noted Shredder, my bad bro. @Sinudeity so what do you have to say about our resources benefiding the westerns? Maybe you one of the rich and previllaged that you dont even feel the fuel hike? It pains me everyday when we mine this platinum know our people are not realy gonna benefit that much.

TANTALIZA - Of course we are benefiting from the mines. HALF of the income derived from the mining companies go towards TAXES.
Of course I dont like the fact that we have very few SOUTH AFRICAN mining companies compared to Australian and British mining companies.
Would rather keep the 'money in the family' so to speak. But the problem lies not with the British or the Australians, it lies with South Africans. Why dont we start more mining companies?
As it stands now, we are generating a trillion rand annual tax budget, because of the mines, the actual figure would have been far less were it not for the mining companies.
Would we be able to afford paying grants for 18 million people otherwise? Report Abuse

Meanwhile, 20% of government officials were SPYING on the rest of their countrymen. If you didnt agree with Gaddafi or the government, you would be assassinated.
