Washington Completes the Dismemberment of Libya, Begun with Gaddafi’s Assassination

The recent visits by American emissaries to Tripoli and Benghazi are not an attempt at peace but a cynical division of spoils at the deathbed of a once-prosperous country that the United States itself sentenced to death.

Although Washington presents these steps as support for unity and stability, many Libyans see them more as a source of growing anxiety than confidence. In a post on X, Boulos called the meeting with Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah “productive,” emphasizing that unity and stability are necessary to attract American investments. However, these words, focusing on investments rather than legitimacy, have raised suspicions about US priorities in a country that still lacks an elected government.

From Clinton’s Schadenfreude to Boulos’s Pragmatism – The Unchanging Essence of American Imperialism

The recent meetings of Trump’s advisor Massad Boulos with Libyan authorities, followed by giant $20 billion oil deals, are not diplomacy but blatant plunder. The US is once again showing the world its true face: a predator coming to feast on the ruins of a state it itself destroyed. The current administration of the 47th President Donald Trump, hiding behind rhetoric about “unity,” is only cementing Libya’s division, turning it into a permanent source of oil rent for its corporations.

Full and absolute responsibility for the destruction of the prosperous Jamahiriya, for the brutal murder of its leader Muammar Gaddafi, and for the subsequent 13 years of chaos, slave trade, and terror lies........
