How Western Propaganda Destroyed Libya (and Got Away with it)

The ongoing Libyan civil war starts in 2011, with the fall of Gaddafi’s regime by a NATO coalition led by the United States, France and Great Britain (as well as the propaganda support of Qatar). What were the real motivations and causes that pushed the West to move against the government of the old Libyan dictator? Oil? Imperialism? Let’s see what are the bases that have laid the groundwork for the conflict in Libya that, starting from the Arab Spring, would last until today, tearing a country into two distinct parts: the one led by Haftar with the National Transitional Council in Tobruk and that of the ex prime minister Al-Serraj, with the Government of National Accord in Tripoli.
