One can remember the time when Albanians went to work in Libya in the early '80s. They did this because of the good wages and working conditions this country offered.

Libya until 1969 was led by King Idriz. It collapses in 1968, with a military stamp by Colonel Muammar Gaddhafi.

Idriz, a corrupt man with corrupt administration, is credited only with realising the country's independence from Italy, writes Telegrafi. But his country was underdeveloped and poor. It is overturned during an official visit to Turkey, when its state from Monarchia is transformed into the Republic.

During Idriz's time, the country depended on foreign aid, despite the fact that Libya is among the world's richest oil countries. The people were unmassigned and lived in almost primitiveism. Gaddafi changed that reality.

Libya's new leader launched major reforms in the country. The living standard grew, the land prospered. Despite the news, often influenced by politics, the country also did not fare badly in relation to human rights, even when the riots against it began.

Gaddafi was not needed by the West because he intended to create a Federation of Arab Republics to strengthen the Arab factor in the world. With this goal, he embargoed the United States with oil and was one of the main causes of what is known as the 1973 OPEC crisis, when Gaddafi demands that Arabs set oil prices, be the ones who decide on their property.

He has never given up such attitudes. But this oil crisis made the five Arabs point to what every black thing that happens in the Middle East is said to have its source in 1973 to something that the West no longer allows to happen, Telegrafi writes.

Gaddafi later applies to the Jamaican ideology, which aims to apply to the Third World, the impregnable part of the globe. This ideology meant “the state of measures”, or people. Although the ideology influenced by communism, the measures benefited from it.

But he was killed during the 2011 Civil War. One of the major reasons for his overthrow is said to be linked to the golden dinar that would destroy the monopolies of tycoons and strengthen the poor layer. Such theories are numerous, and they are based on the theories of conspiracy, from which there may be some truth. But what is certain is that since his death in 2011, the country is still at war, the people in misery, and nothing is what it has been, but worse.

What were the benefits of Gaddhafi's system, Telegrafi brings you some surprising facts below. Koro can also be incredible for you, so each interpretation is permitted:

1. There was no electricity bill in Libya; electricity was free for all its citizens.

2. There was no interest in credit; banks in Libya were owned by the state and loans granted to all its citizens had 0% interest under the law.

3. The house was considered a man's right in Libya; Gaddafi vowed that his parents will not have a home until all in Libya have one. Gaddafi's father died until he, his wife, and mother lived in a tent.

4. All newly married people in Libya received 60 thousand dinars ($50,000) from the Government to buy the first apartment and start the family.

5. Education and medical treatment were free in Libya. Before Gaddafi, only 25 percent of Libyans were educated. Today, that figure is 83 percent.

6. If Libyans wanted to farm, they would take agricultural land, a house, equipment, seeds and livestock to start all of this for free.

7. If Libyans could not find the education or medical services they needed in Libya, the government funded them from going abroad not only for free, but by getting $2300 a month and driving for compensation.

8. In Libya, if a Libyan dropped a car, the government subsidized it by 50 percent of the price.

9. The price of gasoline in Libya was 0.14 per litre.

10. Libya had no external debt, and state reserves totaled $150 billion, which are already frozen at a global level.

11. If a Libyan was unable to find employment after graduation, the state would pay the average salary of his profession as if an employee.

Twelve. Part of the sale of sold oil was loaned to banks, in the accounts of all Libyans.

13. A mother who gave birth to a child received 5,000 U.S. dollars.

14. The bread in Libya cost $0.15.

15. 25 percent of Libyans have a university degree

16. Gaddafi wanted to carry out the largest water supply project to supply and water the entire country that is characterized by deserts.
