Interesting vid on life of the southern Libyans following the over throw of Gaddafi, it's seem that the some of the southern tribes faced economic and development boycott because they refused to bend to Gaddafi's , will especially those of the Tebu ,after 42yrs of media blackout they can now tell their stories , it also brings to light that the interior is filled with Black ppl a fact that a lot of commentators liked to ignore or pretend that Black north Africans are either non existent or sparse.

Very informative video about the black folks Tebu& others that live in Libya. This video was done in 2011 right after the fall of Gaddafi; It would be interesting to see how these same folks are fairing today 2016. I've seen many of the boat people fleeing Libya, are Black folks, trying to reach Greece, & Italy . They seem very hopeful in this documentary about their future, but we all know what Libya has become, a ' Hell Hole" with thousands upon thousands, fleeing in all all manner of vessels, to get the hell out of Libya. I remember reading, & seeing how the Black people of Libya were being treated, horribly by the Arab populations. I never did trust Gaddafi & his so call" United States Of Africa" with him being it's head. I felt he was a con, that said all the right things esp. about his so call inclusion of Black folks throughout Africa. But with all that being said; it was a bad move by America to over throw him, & turn Libya into the basket case it is today
