THE TRUE STORY OF THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER IN LIBYA

This is the story of how Momar Kadafi Built the Great Man-Made River (GMR), a network of underground pipelines bringing high-quality fresh water from ancient underground aquifers deep in the Sahara to the coast of Libya for domestic use,

The best part of all :
It cost 25 BILLION dollars to build and it was financed WITHOUT the support of major countries or loans from world banks.

RIP Muammar Ghaddafi. I lived in Libya as a child, 10-14, 1978-82. He was a great man and everybody loved him❤️ It’s all true what they say, there was free fresh water, free housing and farmland, free education. I pray his sons are still alive and aware, and will be able to make a change, now🙏

RIP Muamar Gadaffi. I'm sorry I once believed the lies about you.

This Great Project blown up by US and British Air force. Why? Who blows up drinking water?
What sort of people instruct pilots to commit war crimes of this nature? Totally disgusting.

That's why many soldiers suffer from PTSD, they KNOW they fought for the wrong side and that shit stays with you!!!

about 13 yrs ago, I was honored to have lunch with a Doctor from Libya. This doctor explained to me that his and all the people in Libya's entire education was paid for by the government under Gadaffi's leadership.

Gaddafi... always remembered..
But never forgotten.. Rip

I never heard of this promising water project until I was listening to an interview about primary water. No surprise really at who destroyed it along with the equipment.

Oh my God ...I used to live in Libya ....in Sarir where is located in the middle of desert....when I was 26 in 1997. I remember there...now I live in Korea and USA both~~~
awesome video

Truly an 8th wonder of the world this great man made river.
It is beyond belief I have never even heard about it.
Seems to have been kept top secret from us by our own media.

*That's most sinful act of destroying water reservoirs. This breaks heart whenever you watch this old video. YT removes it so keep a copy with you.*

[abdurrehmanqureshi]

Qadaffi must be laughing on beloved democracy of libya now.may God give all a good dictator

[abdurrauf]

Libya you would remember these Days now
Salute Muammar Qazafi

[pinkx]

Gaddafi him self teach us when we were kids in school to call this project as the 8th wonder of the world, in 2020 our drinking water still comes from the great river

[aliciahuddleston]

God forgive us Lybian people. We were lied to 😢😢😢😢

[techpiton]

Screw everyone who killed Gaddaffi. RIP soldier.. Africa will always remember you

[farajalagory]

Why do people in the comment section think its destroyed? Its not we still have it working just fine.. free water all the time as well as free electricity

[sly]

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS, WHY DON'T THEY TELL US THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO COUNTRIES LIKE THIS WITH MASSIVE CLEAN PROJECTS? THIS WORLD IS MESSED UP. WE ARE SO IN THE DARK.

Libya is big, Libya is Muslim, Libya has been blessed with abundant goodness, Libya will return to lead the continent in glory 🇱🇾
