Present

Present day Libya is made up of two groups

- Salaries in Libya are governed by law number 15 which sets the average salary of Libyans at 200 dollars per month.

-Law number 4 caters for the confiscation of private and commercial property.

- Burning down of the land registry building in Tripoli to destroy any reference of legal ownership of property.

- Continuous discharge of untreated sewage in the sea in close proximity to the cities Tripoli and Benghazi.

- Civil infrastructure, healthcare and the education system have failed beyond disbelief in the last 40 years.

-Gaddafi committed some of the most brutal human right excesses in the late 70s and early 80s. Libyan students were hanged in universities, sport auditoriums and public squares simply for not adhering to the green book ideology.

- HIV infection breakout in Benghazi. Over 500 children where effected because the sterilization equipment were malfunctioning.
